8th percentile - higher than 8% of all known CVEs

Summary

In the Imagination GPU driver (powervr), a reference is not taken for geometry jobs paired with fragment jobs. This leads to a Use-After-Free.

Risk Assessment

This vulnerability could be exploited to execute arbitrary code in kernel context by manipulating the GPU scheduler.

Recommendation

Apply the patch that adds a reference taken by the fragment job on the geometry job.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/imagination: take paired job reference For paired jobs, have the fragment job take a reference on the geometry job, so that the geometry job cannot be freed until the fragment job has finished with it. The geometry job structure is accessed when the fragment job is being prepared by the GPU scheduler. Taking the reference prevents the geometry job being freed until the fragment job no longer requires it. Fixes a use after free bug detected by KASAN: [ 124.256386] BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in pvr_queue_prepare_job+0x108/0x868 [powervr] [ 124.264893] Read of size 1 at addr ffff0000084cb960 by task kworker/u16:4/63
