It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-21911 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-21911/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-21911/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-21911","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-21911/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-21911","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2025-21911","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-21911","GHSA-x9qw-9cw3-55vf","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-21911","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-21911"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A deadlock in the Imagination DRM driver can cause a system hang, requiring a kernel patch to resolve.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-667","name":"Improper Locking"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ndrm/imagination: avoid deadlock on fence release\n\nDo scheduler queue fence release processing on a workqueue, rather\nthan in the release function itself.\n\nFixes deadlock issues such as the following:\n\n[  607.400437] ============================================\n[  607.405755] WARNING: possible recursive locking detected\n[  607.415500] --------------------------------------------\n[  607.420817] weston:zfq0/24149 is trying to acquire lock:\n[  607.426131] ffff000017d041a0 (reservation_ww_class_mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: pvr_gem_object_vunmap+0x40/0xc0 [powervr]\n[  607.436728]\n               but task is already holding lock:\n[  607.442554] ffff000017d105a0 (reservation_ww_class_mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: dma_buf_ioctl+0x250/0x554\n[  607.451727]\n               other info that might help us debug this:\n[  607.458245]  Possible unsafe locking scenario:\n\n[  607.464155]        CPU0\n[  607.466601]        ----\n[  607.469044]   lock(reservation_ww_class_mutex);\n[  607.473584]   lock(reservation_ww_class_mutex);\n[  607.478114]\n                *** DEADLOCK ***","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"drm/imagination: avoid deadlock on fence release","id":"CVE-2025-21911","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"race_condition","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"gpio: rcar: Use raw_spinlock to protect register access","id":"CVE-2025-21912"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"wifi: cfg80211: regulatory: improve invalid hints checking","id":"CVE-2025-21910"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2025-04-01","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Out-of-Bounds Write","id":"CVE-2026-53266","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2026-06-25"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Improper Input Validation","id":"CVE-2013-6282","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-11-19"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Heap-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2022-0185","kev_date_added":"2024-08-21","published":"2022-02-11"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2013-2094","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-05-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Unspecified","id":"CVE-2026-53362","kev_date_added":"2026-08-27","published":"2026-07-04"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Missing Initialization of a Variable","id":"CVE-2026-46300","kev_date_added":"2026-10-28","published":"2026-05-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Race Condition","id":"CVE-2025-39964","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2025-10-13"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-05-11","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A deadlock in the Imagination DRM driver can cause a system hang, requiring a kernel patch to resolve.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-21911/"}
