Linux CVE-2025-71162

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

dmaengine: tegra-adma: Fix use-after-free

A use-after-free bug exists in the Tegra ADMA driver when audio streams are terminated, particularly during XRUN conditions. The issue occurs when the DMA buffer is freed by tegra_adma_terminate_all() before the vchan completion tasklet finishes accessing it.

The race condition follows this sequence:

1. DMA transfer completes, triggering an interrupt that schedules the

completion tasklet (tasklet has not executed yet)

1. Audio playback stops, calling tegra_adma_terminate_all() which

frees the DMA buffer memory via kfree()

1. The scheduled tasklet finally executes, calling vchan_complete()

which attempts to access the already-freed memory

Since tasklets can execute at any time after being scheduled, there is no guarantee that the buffer will remain valid when vchan_complete() runs.

Fix this by properly synchronizing the virtual channel completion:

• Calling vchan_terminate_vdesc() in tegra_adma_stop() to mark the

descriptors as terminated instead of freeing the descriptor.

• Add the callback tegra_adma_synchronize() that calls

vchan_synchronize() which kills any pending tasklets and frees any terminated descriptors.
