Summary

In the Linux kernel, a vulnerability was found due to mixing devm and drmm memory management functions in the MSM DPU graphics driver. This causes a use-after-free condition during driver teardown when userspace holds a reference to the DRM device.

Risk Assessment

The risk involves potential data integrity violation or unauthorized code execution due to accessing freed memory, which could lead to system crashes or privilege escalation.

Recommendation

Apply the patch available in the Linux kernel repository (patchwork.freedesktop.org patch 722656) or update the kernel to a version containing the fix immediately.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/msm/dpu: don't mix devm and drmm functions Mixing devm and drmm functions will result in a use-after-free on msm driver teardown if userspace keeps a reference on the drm device: The WB connector data will be destroyed because of the use of devm_kzalloc()), while the usersoace still can try interacting with the WB connector (which uses drmm_ functions). Change dpu_writeback_init() to use drmm_. Patchwork: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/722656/
