CVE-2026-53056 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/msm/dpu: fix mismatch between power and frequency During DPU runtime suspend, calling dev_pm_opp_set_rate(dev, 0) drops the MMCX rail to MIN_SVS while the core clock frequency remains at its original (highest) rate. When runtime resume re-enables the clock, this may result in a mismatch between the rail voltage and the clock rate. For example, in the DPU bind path, the sequence could be: cpu0: dev_sync_state -> rpmhpd_sync_state cpu1: dpu_kms_hw_init timeline 0 ------------------------------------------------> t After rpmhpd_sync_state, the voltage performance is no longer guaranteed to stay at the highest level. During dpu_kms_hw_init, calling dev_pm_opp_set_rate(dev, 0) drops the voltage, causing the MMCX rail to fall to MIN_SVS while the core clock is still at its maximum frequency. When the power is re-enabled, only the clock is enabled, leading to a situation where the MMCX rail is at MIN_SVS but the core clock is at its highest rate. In this state, the rail cannot sustain the clock rate, which may cause instability or system crash. Remove the call to dev_pm_opp_set_rate(dev, 0) from dpu_runtime_suspend to ensure the correct vote is restored when DPU resumes. Patchwork: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/710077/
A vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel's handling of power and frequency management within the Display Processing Unit (DPU) component. During runtime suspension, the system incorrectly drops the voltage of the MMCX rail to its minimum level while maintaining the core clock at its highest frequency. This discrepancy can lead to situations where the rail cannot support the clock rate, potentially causing system instability or crashes. The issue arises because the DPU runtime suspend process fails to properly manage the performance state, creating a mismatch that can disrupt normal operations.
The vulnerability has been addressed in the Linux kernel. Users can apply the latest patches available in the Linux kernel stable tree to mitigate this issue.
