Kernel Vulnerability in Raspberry Pi GPU Handling

CVE-2025-38371

What is CVE-2025-38371?

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel has been identified that affects the proper handling of GPU resets within the Raspberry Pi environment. This issue arises when an interrupt is triggered during a GPU reset, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. The resulting instability can cause the GPU to hang, resulting in significant system impacts, including kernel panics. Affected users of Raspberry Pi devices should ensure they update to the patched kernel version to mitigate these potential interruptions and maintain system reliability.
