CVE-2025-68184
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/mediatek: Disable AFBC support on Mediatek DRM driver
Commit c410fa9b07c3 ("drm/mediatek: Add AFBC support to Mediatek DRM driver") added AFBC support to Mediatek DRM and enabled the 32x8/split/sparse modifier.
However, this is currently broken on Mediatek MT8188 (Genio 700 EVK platform); tested using upstream Kernel and Mesa (v25.2.1), AFBC is used by default since Mesa v25.0.
Kernel trace reports vblank timeouts constantly, and the render is garbled:

Until this gets fixed upstream, disable AFBC support on this platform, as it's currently broken with upstream Mesa.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H
- Puntuación base: 7.1
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.15%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 4
- Fecha de la puntuación: 6/10/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).
🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK
Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.
- Explotación
T1068Exploitation for Privilege Escalationprivilege escalation75 % - Impacto principal
T1499.004Application or System Exploitationimpact65 % - Impacto secundario
T1565.001Stored Data Manipulationimpact55 %
AV:L/PR:L sin UI indica escalada local. El timeout de vblank y renderizado corrompido sugieren DoS (T1499.004) y corrupción de datos gráficos (T1565.001) en el subsistema DRM/GPU de Mediatek.
Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
