Original description

The description as published by the source.

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

drm/v3d: Fix out-of-bounds read in v3d_csd_job_run()

When enabling UBSAN on Raspberry Pi 5, we get the following warning:

[ 387.894977] UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in drivers/gpu/drm/v3d/v3d_sched.c:320:3

This happens because the UAPI provides only seven configuration
registers and we are reading the eighth position of this u32 array.

Therefore, fix the out-of-bounds read in v3d_csd_job_run() by
accessing only seven positions on the '__u32 [7]' array. The eighth
register exists indeed on V3D 7.1, but it isn't currently used. That
being so, let's guarantee that…

Update to 6.10.7.

🛡️ Workaround

Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.

🔍 Detection

Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Run grep -r 'Kernel' . against your dependency files (package-lock.json, requirements.txt, go.sum) to find affected services.

Response actions

Concrete steps and command examples for SOC/SRE teams to execute in order

1
Identify exposure identify
```
grep -r 'Kernel' . | grep -v node_modules
```
リポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で Kernel を grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。
2
Apply patch patch
```
Upgrade Kernel to 6.10.7
```
ステージング環境で 6.10.7 に上げて回帰テスト → 本番反映。回帰テストはアプリの主要ハッピーパスを含めること。
3
Post-deployment verification verify
```
Confirm patched version is live in production
```
パッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番ではアクセスログ・WAF でアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
