Summary

In the radeon DRM driver, the rdev structure is managed by devres, but kfree() was called in error paths, causing double-free and crashes.

Risk Assessment

Double-free memory could cause system crashes or potentially allow local privilege escalation.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch that removes kfree() calls on rdev in the radeon driver, as it is managed by devres.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/radeon: Do not kfree() devres managed rdev Since the allocation of the drivers main structure was changed to devm_drm_dev_alloc() rdev is managed by devres and we shouldn't be calling kfree() on it. This fixes things exploding if the driver probe fails and devres cleans up the rdev after we already free'd it. (cherry picked from commit 16c0681617b8a045773d4d87b6140002fa75b03b)
