Summary

In the DRM driver for Intel GPUs (xe) in the migration function, a potential use-after-free (UAF) was detected. On the error path, the previous fence was released before waiting, potentially leading to UAF. The fix reorders operations so that release occurs after waiting.

Risk Assessment

The organization is at risk of system crashes or unpredictable graphics driver behavior, which could lead to data loss or instability.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the Linux kernel to a version that reorders fence release and waiting to prevent UAF.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/xe/migrate: prevent potential UAF If we hit the error path, the previous fence (if there is one) has already been put() prior to this, so doing a fence_wait could lead to UAF. Tweak the flow to do to the put() until after we do the wait. (cherry picked from commit 9b7ca35ed28fe5fad86e9d9c24ebd1271e4c9c3e)
