Display outage via DSI error-path deadlock
Published Jul 16, 2024 · Updated May 11, 2026
Deadlock in the vc4 DSI host attachment path in affected Linux kernel versions allows attackers to leave the DSI display nonoperational. On an attachment failure, vc4_dsi_host_attach unregisters the DSI host while the host device lock remains held, causing device removal to wait recursively on that lock. The condition occurs during a DSI device attachment error, such as a probe retry; no network or user-controlled trigger is documented.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
