CVE-2025-38436 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Red Hat security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for RHEL:10.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-headers package and not the kernel-headers package as distributed by RHEL.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/scheduler: signal scheduled fence when kill job
When an entity from application B is killed, drm_sched_entity_kill() removes all jobs belonging to that entity through drm_sched_entity_kill_jobs_work(). If application A's job depends on a scheduled fence from application B's job, and that fence is not properly signaled during the killing process, application A's dependency cannot be cleared.
This leads to application A hanging indefinitely while waiting for a dependency that will never be resolved. Fix this issue by ensuring that scheduled fences are properly signaled when an entity is killed, allowing dependent applications to continue execution.
