Summary

In the Linux kernel, the drm/panthor driver has a use-after-free vulnerability in the GROUP_CREATE function. A malicious user can call GROUP_DESTROY from another thread before GROUP_CREATE completes, leading to use of freed memory.

Risk Assessment

The organization is at risk of potential kernel memory corruption, which could lead to privilege escalation or system crashes.

Recommendation

It is recommended to immediately update the Linux kernel to a version that includes a fix using a mark on the Xarray entry to prevent group deletion before it is fully created.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/panthor: Prevent potential UAF in group creation This commit prevents the possibility of a use after free issue in the GROUP_CREATE ioctl function, which arose as pointer to the group is accessed in that ioctl function after storing it in the Xarray. A malicious userspace can second guess the handle of a group and try to call GROUP_DESTROY ioctl from another thread around the same time as GROUP_CREATE ioctl. To prevent the use after free exploit, this commit uses a mark on an entry of group pool Xarray which is added just before returning from the GROUP_CREATE ioctl function. The mark is checked for all ioctls that specify the group handle and so userspace won't be abe to delete a group that isn't marked yet. v2: Add R-bs and fixes tags
