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-2025-68184 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux. 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-2025-68184/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-68184/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-68184","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-68184/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-68184","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2025-68184","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-68184","GHSA-6r88-fjqw-x66f","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2025-68184","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2025-68184","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-68184","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-68184"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel DRM driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A bug in the Mediatek DRM driver causes vblank timeouts and garbled rendering, leading to system instability or denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ndrm/mediatek: Disable AFBC support on Mediatek DRM driver\n\nCommit c410fa9b07c3 (\"drm/mediatek: Add AFBC support to Mediatek DRM\ndriver\") added AFBC support to Mediatek DRM and enabled the\n32x8/split/sparse modifier.\n\nHowever, this is currently broken on Mediatek MT8188 (Genio 700 EVK\nplatform); tested using upstream Kernel and Mesa (v25.2.1), AFBC is used by\ndefault since Mesa v25.0.\n\nKernel trace reports vblank timeouts constantly, and the render is garbled:\n\n```\n[CRTC:62:crtc-0] vblank wait timed out\nWARNING: CPU: 7 PID: 70 at drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic_helper.c:1835 drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_vblanks.part.0+0x24c/0x27c\n[...]\nHardware name: MediaTek Genio-700 EVK (DT)\nWorkqueue: events_unbound commit_work\npstate: 60400009 (nZCv daif +PAN -UAO -TCO -DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--)\npc : drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_vblanks.part.0+0x24c/0x27c\nlr : drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_vblanks.part.0+0x24c/0x27c\nsp : ffff80008337bca0\nx29: ffff80008337bcd0 x28: 0000000000000061 x27: 0000000000000000\nx26: 0000000000000001 x25: 0000000000000000 x24: ffff0000c9dcc000\nx23: 0000000000000001 x22: 0000000000000000 x21: ffff0000c66f2f80\nx20: ffff0000c0d7d880 x19: 0000000000000000 x18: 000000000000000a\nx17: 000000040044ffff x16: 005000f2b5503510 x15: 0000000000000000\nx14: 0000000000000000 x13: 74756f2064656d69 x12: 742074696177206b\nx11: 0000000000000058 x10: 0000000000000018 x9 : ffff800082396a70\nx8 : 0000000000057fa8 x7 : 0000000000000cce x6 : ffff8000823eea70\nx5 : ffff0001fef5f408 x4 : ffff80017ccee000 x3 : ffff0000c12cb480\nx2 : 0000000000000000 x1 : 0000000000000000 x0 : ffff0000c12cb480\nCall trace:\n drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_vblanks.part.0+0x24c/0x27c (P)\n drm_atomic_helper_commit_tail_rpm+0x64/0x80\n commit_tail+0xa4/0x1a4\n commit_work+0x14/0x20\n process_one_work+0x150/0x290\n worker_thread+0x2d0/0x3ec\n kthread+0x12c/0x210\n ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20\n---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---\n```\n\nUntil this gets fixed upstream, disable AFBC support on this platform, as\nit's currently broken with upstream Mesa.","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/mediatek: Disable AFBC support on Mediatek DRM driver","id":"CVE-2025-68184","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"nfs4_setup_readdir(): insufficient locking for -\u003ed_parent-\u003ed_inode dereferencing","id":"CVE-2025-68185"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"ima: don't clear IMA_DIGSIG flag when setting or removing non-IMA xattr","id":"CVE-2025-68183"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2025-12-16","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-05","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A bug in the Mediatek DRM driver causes vblank timeouts and garbled rendering, leading to system instability or denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-68184/"}
