DescriptionCVE.org

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

accel/rocket: fix UAF via dangling GEM handle in create_bo

rocket_ioctl_create_bo() inserts a GEM handle into the file's IDR via drm_gem_handle_create() early on, then performs several operations that can fail (sgt allocation, drm_mm insert, iommu_map). If any fail after the handle is live, the error path calls drm_gem_shmem_object_free() which kfree's the object without removing the handle from the IDR.

This leaves a dangling handle pointing to freed slab memory. Any subsequent ioctl using that handle (PREP_BO, FINI_BO, SUBMIT) calls drm_gem_object_lookup() and dereferences freed memory (UAF).

Fix by moving drm_gem_handle_create() to after all fallible operations succeed, matching the pattern used by panfrost, lima, and etnaviv.

Also fix drm_mm_insert_node_generic() whose return value was silently overwritten by iommu_map_sgtable() on the next line. Add the missing error check.

[tomeu: Move handle creation to the very end]

AnalysisAI

Local privilege escalation via use-after-free in the Linux kernel accel/rocket driver (Rockchip NPU accelerator) allows an authenticated local user with access to the accel device node to dereference freed slab memory. The flaw stems from rocket_ioctl_create_bo() registering a GEM handle in the file IDR before fallible operations (sgt allocation, drm_mm insert, iommu_map); on failure the object is freed while the handle stays live, and any later PREP_BO/FINI_BO/SUBMIT ioctl triggers the UAF. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is low (0.17%, 6th percentile).
