CVE-2025-38041: clk: sunxi-ng: h616: Reparent GPU clock during frequency changes

MediumCVSS 5.5 · v3.1—No exploit Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 22/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.23% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Linux Linux 0c4f89f02c72f7cfb98a9a09cae89cc2e39e6017, 1439673b78185eaaa5fae444b3a9d58c434ee78e, 47a0da0c80749767de1bc0a7a27a69b34c22fbda.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 0c4f89f02c72f7cfb98a9a09cae89cc2e39e6017, 1439673b78185eaaa5fae444b3a9d58c434ee78e, 47a0da0c80749767de1bc0a7a27a69b34c22fbda or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: clk: sunxi-ng: h616: Reparent GPU clock during frequency changes The H616 manual does not state that the GPU PLL supports dynamic frequency configuration, so we must take extra care when changing the frequency. Currently any attempt to do device DVFS on the GPU lead to panfrost various ooops, and GPU hangs. The manual describes the algorithm for changing the PLL frequency, which the CPU PLL notifier code already support, so we reuse that to reparent the GPU clock to GPU1 clock during frequency changes.
