In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/v3d: Serialize the scheduler timeout handlers V3D exposes several independent hardware queues (BIN, RENDER, TFU and CSD) but has only a single, global reset. A timeout on any one queue therefore has to stop, reset and restart the schedulers of every other queue as well. That makes concurrent timeout handlers unsafe. was never able to make them safe, as a driver-side lock can only cover the driver's &drm_sched_backend_ops.timedout_job callback. The scheduler handles the timed out job and its pending list around that callback, outside of the driver's control, so a global reset triggered by one queue can still interfere with another queue that is in the middle of handling a timeout of its own. Consequently, if a reset happens in the CSD queue while a CL-intensive application is running, the global reset stops and restarts the CL queue's scheduler while that queue is handling a timeout of its own. As drm_sched_stop() and drm_sched_start() subtract and add the credits of every job sitting on the pending list of the scheduler they are called on, and as the CL queue's handler concurrently takes its job off that same list and puts it back, the stop and the start no longer see the same set of jobs. The CL queue is left with more credits in flight than its limit: [ 327.302739] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 327.302744] WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 43 at drivers/gpu/drm/scheduler/sched_main.c:102 drm_sched_run_job_work+0x238/0x4d0 [gpu_sched] [ 327.302884] CPU: 2 UID: 0 PID: 43 Comm: kworker/u16:1 Not tainted 6.18.39-v8-16k+ #3 PREEMPT [ 327.302889] Hardware name: Raspberry Pi 5 Model B Rev 1.0 (DT) [ 327.302893] Workqueue: v3d_bin drm_sched_run_job_work [gpu_sched] [ 327.302984] Call trace: [ 327.302987] drm_sched_run_job_work+0x238/0x4d0 [gpu_sched] (P) [ 327.302997] process_scheduled_works+0x180/0x3d0 [ 327.303010] worker_thread+0x268/0x3e8 [ 327.303016] kthread+0x140/0x250 [ 327.303022] ret_from_fork+0

Grounded briefings

Catalog interpretations for three audiences. Each brief cites ingested metadata and the original advisories below. They are not independent research and they do not invent exploit steps.

Executive

CVE-2026-74638 is a unknown public vulnerability record for this product. It is not currently listed in the CISA Known Exploited catalog. Check the linked vendor or CERT advisories for patch status. This summary is a catalog interpretation of the ingested metadata and cites the original advisories below.

System administrator

Identify whether this product is in your estate, then compare installed versions with the affected ranges. Affected version ranges have not been ingested yet. Check the linked vendor or CERT advisories for patch status. Prefer the vendor or distribution advisory linked in Sources before changing production systems. This is a catalog interpretation, not a runbook.

Security analyst

Signals on file: EPSS 0.2%. It is not currently listed in the CISA Known Exploited catalog. Sources contributing to this record: cve_org, epss, nvd. Public exploit references, when present, are outbound links only and are not proof of active exploitation. This is a catalog interpretation of stored metadata.

Exploitation and remediation

  • Exploitation evidence

    Not listed as known exploited in CISA KEV. Not in CISA KEV or VulnCheck KEV.
