System hang via interconnect lock inversion
Published Dec 24, 2025 · Updated Dec 24, 2025
Deadlock in the Linux kernel interconnect core from 5.1 through 6.5.4 allows attackers to hang affected systems during runtime resume. The icc_set_bw path holds the shared icc_lock while runtime power management can enter memory allocation and reclaim, creating a circular dependency with the Adreno GPU resume path. Triggerability depends on a Qualcomm interconnect and Adreno runtime-resume path intersecting reclaim; the bounded consequence is a system hang.

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.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
