Summary

In the Linux kernel DRM xe driver, the error path in hw_engine_init() has a double-free of a managed BO. The BO allocated with xe_managed_bo_create_pin_map() has a devm cleanup action registered, and the explicit xe_bo_unpin_map_no_vm() causes a double-free during devm unwind. The fix removes the explicit free.

Risk Assessment

Double-free can lead to memory corruption, system crashes, or security breaches.

Recommendation

Apply a Linux kernel update that includes the fix for this vulnerability.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/xe/hw_engine: Fix double-free of managed BO in error path The error path in hw_engine_init() explicitly frees a BO allocated with xe_managed_bo_create_pin_map() via xe_bo_unpin_map_no_vm(). Since the managed BO already has a devm cleanup action registered, this causes a double-free when devm unwinds during probe failure. Remove the explicit free and let devm handle it, consistent with all other xe_managed_bo_create_pin_map() callers. (cherry picked from commit e459a3bdeb117be496d7f229e2ea1f6c9fe4080b)
