In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/nouveau: prime: fix ttm_bo_delayed_delete oops

Fix an oops in ttm_bo_delayed_delete which results from dererencing a dangling pointer:

The cause of this is:

  • drm_prime_gem_destroy calls dma_buf_put(dma_buf) which releases the

reference to the shared dma_buf. The reference count is 0, so the dma_buf is destroyed, which in turn decrements the corresponding amdgpu_bo reference count to 0, and the amdgpu_bo is destroyed - calling drm_gem_object_release then dma_resv_fini (which destroys the reservation object), then finally freeing the amdgpu_bo.

  • nouveau_bo obj->bo.base.resv is now a dangling pointer to the memory

formerly allocated to the amdgpu_bo.

  • nouveau_gem_object_del calls ttm_bo_put(&nvbo->bo) which calls

ttm_bo_release, which schedules ttm_bo_delayed_delete.

  • ttm_bo_delayed_delete runs and dereferences the dangling resv pointer,

resulting in a general protection fault.

Fix this by moving the drm_prime_gem_destroy call from nouveau_gem_object_del to nouveau_bo_del_ttm. This ensures that it will be run after ttm_bo_delayed_delete.

Attack Technique

Use After Free HIGH

Use-after-free vulnerabilities occur when a program continues to access memory through a pointer after that memory has been deallocated.

Memory Corruption HIGH

Memory corruption occurs when a program writes data beyond the boundaries of allocated memory regions or accesses memory in unintended ways, violating the integrity of the process's address space.

Information Disclosure MEDIUM

Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.
