CVE-2025-58410
📋 TL;DR
This GPU driver vulnerability allows non-privileged software to bypass read-only memory protections and gain write access to GPU memory buffers. This affects systems using Imagination Technologies GPU drivers where untrusted applications can execute GPU operations. The vulnerability enables potential data corruption or privilege escalation.

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete system compromise through privilege escalation, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges, potentially leading to full system control.
Likely Case
Data corruption or information disclosure from GPU memory buffers, potentially enabling sandbox escape in containerized or virtualized environments.
If Mitigated
Limited impact to GPU-accelerated applications with potential performance degradation or application crashes.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires local code execution capability and understanding of GPU memory management. No public exploit code identified in the reference.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Not specified in reference; check vendor advisory for specific patched versions
Vendor Advisory: https://www.imaginationtech.com/gpu-driver-vulnerabilities/
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Visit Imagination Technologies security advisory page. 2. Identify affected driver versions for your hardware. 3. Download and install updated GPU drivers from vendor. 4. Reboot system to load new driver.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Restrict GPU access
linuxLimit non-privileged user access to GPU devices and operations
chmod 600 /dev/dri/renderD*
setfacl -m u:root:rw /dev/dri/renderD*
Application sandboxing
linuxRun untrusted applications in containers with restricted device access
docker run --device-cgroup-rule='c 226:* rmw' --security-opt no-new-privileges image_name
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement strict access controls to prevent non-privileged users from executing GPU operations
- Isolate systems with vulnerable GPU drivers from critical networks and sensitive data
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check GPU driver version and compare against vendor patched versions. Use 'lspci -v' to identify GPU hardware and 'modinfo' for driver details.Check Version:
cat /sys/module/pvrsrvkm/version 2>/dev/null || dmesg | grep -i imaginationVerify Fix Applied:
Verify updated driver version is loaded and test with GPU memory access monitoring tools. Check system logs for driver loading events.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual GPU memory access patterns
- Failed GPU system calls from non-privileged processes
- Driver error messages related to memory protection violations
Network Indicators:
- None - this is a local privilege escalation vulnerability
