System hang via unrecovered GPU cache-flush timeout
Published Jun 3, 2026 · Updated Jun 3, 2026
Denial of service in Linux Kernel releases containing the affected panthor driver allows local users to hang the system via malformed GPU jobs. panthor_gpu_flush_caches waits for an acknowledgment when a blocked memory subsystem prevents a cache flush from completing, but the failure path neither schedules recovery nor clears pending_reqs. Exploitation requires local access and a system using the panthor GPU driver; the resulting failure blocks further flush commands and interrupts system availability.

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.
