Overview

CVE-2025-71307 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on May 27, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5 (MEDIUM).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5, rated MEDIUM. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/panthor: Fix NULL pointer dereference on panthor_fw_unplug

This patch removes the MCU halt and wait for halt procedures during

panthor_fw_unplug() as the MCU can be in a variety of states or the FW

may not even be loaded/initialized at all, the latter of which can lead

to a NULL pointer dereference.

It should be safe on unplug to just disable the MCU without waiting for

it to halt as it may not be able to.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from linux. Update linux_kernel to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
