CVE-2026-53139 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/v3d: Skip CSD when it has zeroed workgroups A compute shader dispatch encodes its workgroup counts in the CFG0..CFG2 registers. Kicking off a dispatch with a zero count in any of the three dimensions is invalid. First, the hardware will process 0 as 65536, while the user-space driver exposes a maximum of 65535. Over that, a submission with a zeroed workgroup dimension should be a no-op. These zeroed counts can reach the dispatch path through an indirect CSD job, whose workgroup counts are only known once the indirect buffer is read and may legitimately be zero, but such scenario should only result in a no-op. Overwrite the indirect CSD job workgroup counts with the indirect BO ones, even if they are zeroed, and don't submit the job to the hardware when any of the workgroup counts is zero, so the job completes immediately instead of running the shader.
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's V3D Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) subsystem allows for improper validation of compute shader dispatch workgroup counts. This issue affects the stable Linux kernel and arises because a zero workgroup count in any dimension is processed as 65536 by the hardware, while the user-space driver only allows a maximum of 65535. As a result, a dispatch with zeroed workgroup dimensions should be a no-op. However, this vulnerability can be exploited through indirect compute shader dispatch jobs, where workgroup counts may be zero but should not result in an actual dispatch. The vulnerability allows these zeroed counts to be submitted to the hardware, potentially leading to unintended behavior.
Users can upgrade to the latest patched version of the Linux kernel, where this vulnerability has been addressed.
