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.

Analysis

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. Rated medium severity (CVSS 5.5), this vulnerability is low attack complexity. This Use After Free vulnerability could allow attackers to access freed memory to execute arbitrary code or crash the application.

Technical Context

This vulnerability is classified as Use After Free (CWE-416), which allows attackers to access freed memory to execute arbitrary code or crash the application.
