CVE-2026-72313 — drm/fb-helper: Only consider active CRTCs for vblank sync

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/fb-helper: Only consider active CRTCs for vblank sync Only synchronize fbdev output to the vblank of an active CRTC. Go over the list of CRTCs and pick the first that matches. Fixes warnings as the one shown below [ 77.201354] WARNING: drivers/gpu/drm/drm_vblank.c:1320 at drm_crtc_wait_one_vblank+0x194/0x1cc [drm], CPU#1: kworker/1:7/1867 [ 77.201354] omapdrm omapdrm.0: [drm] vblank wait timed out on crtc 0 This currently happens if the fbdev output is not on CRTC 0. Atomic and non-atomic drivers require distinct code paths. As for other fbdev operations, implement both and select the correct one at runtime. Not finding an active CRTC is not a bug. Do not wait in this case, but flush the display update as before. v4: - avoid possible deadlocks with locking context (Sashiko) v3: - drop excessive state validation (Jani) - acquire plane and CRTC mutices (Sashiko) v2: - move look-up code into separate helper - support drivers with legacy modesetting v1: - see https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/1c9e0e24-9c4a-4259-8700-cf9e5fd60ca3@suse.de/

Low

Who exploits it and how urgent it is

A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.

No exploitation signal in the sources consulted so far.

How the score was calculated

EPSS 0.2% (30-day exploitation probability)+1

The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).

Triage

Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.

Exploitation

Not confirmed

Not in CISA KEV — an absence of record, not proof it is unexploited.

Remediation

Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.

No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.

First 24 hours

Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.

Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Linux Linux).
No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.

What should defenders know first?

CVE-2026-72313 is "drm/fb-helper: Only consider active CRTCs for vblank sync", rated Unknown. It affects Linux (Linux); versions are in the scope table. It is not in CISA KEV, which does not rule out exploitation. EPSS 0.20% estimates the probability of exploitation in 30 days; neither replaces your asset context. First verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run the affected versions, apply vendor fixes or mitigations, and preserve logs for review.
