Summary

In the Linux kernel, a vulnerability in the DRM Xe driver (xe_migrate_clear) was found where the error path uses a potentially unstable fence pointer (m->fence) instead of a locally generated fence, leading to a possible use-after-free (UAF).

Risk Assessment

The organization is at risk of memory corruption (UAF) during error handling in memory migration operations, potentially leading to unpredictable system behavior or privilege escalation.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that replaces the reference to m->fence with a local fence in the error path.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/xe: Use local fence in error path of xe_migrate_clear The intent of the error path in xe_migrate_clear is to wait on locally generated fence and then return. The code is waiting on m->fence which could be the local fence but this is only stable under the job mutex leading to a possible UAF. Fix code to wait on local fence. (cherry picked from commit 762b7e95362170b3e13a8704f38d5e47eca4ba74)
