AI-suggested

A fix for this vulnerability has been implemented in the Linux kernel. Users and administrators should apply the official kernel updates that include this patch. Since this is a kernel-level issue, updating to the patched kernel version is the recommended remediation. Patch status is not explicitly confirmed in the provided data; therefore, check the vendor or Linux kernel advisory for the exact fixed versions and update instructions.

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/panthor: Flush shmem writes before mapping buffers CPU-uncached The shmem layer zeroes out the new pages using cached mappings, and if we don't CPU-flush we might leave dirty cachelines behind, leading to potential data leaks and/or asynchronous buffer corruption when dirty cachelines are evicted.
