    v3d_bin[166] exited with preempt_count 1 This issue arises because, upon closing the file descriptor
    (which happens when we interrupt `kmscube`), the active performance monitor is not stopped. Although all
    perfmons are destroyed in `v3d_perfmon_close_file()`, the active performance monitor's pointer
    (`v3d->active_perfmon`) is still retained. If `kmscube` is run again, the driver will attempt to stop the
    active performance monitor using the stale pointer in `v3d->active_perfmon`. However, this pointer is no
    longer valid because the previous process has already terminated, and all performance monitors associated
    with it have been destroyed and freed. To fix this, when the active performance monitor belongs to a given
    process, explicitly stop it before destroying and freeing it. (CVE-2024-50031)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
