Summary

In the Linux kernel, the DRM xe driver (dma-buf) has a use-after-free vulnerability in a retry loop. After an error, the buffer object is freed, and the retry loop accesses freed memory, potentially leading to security issues.

Risk Assessment

This vulnerability could allow a local attacker to execute code in kernel context or cause a kernel crash, compromising system stability and security.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch containing commit 479669418253e0f27f8cf5db01a731352ea592e7 or update to a kernel version that includes this fix.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/xe/dma-buf: fix UAF with retry loop Retry doesn't work here, since bo will be freed on error, leading to UAF. However, now that we do the alloc & init before the attach, we can now combine this as one unit and have the init do the alloc for us. This should make the retry safe. Reported by Sashiko. v2: Fix up the error unwind (CI) (cherry picked from commit 479669418253e0f27f8cf5db01a731352ea592e7)
