There is no network, adjacent-radio, or physical-device parsing path to this code.\nAC:L - The trigger is a repeatable local sequence that duplicates plane state with a stale commit pointer and then runs another atomic commit; it does not require winning an attacker-uncontrolled race. Closing/reopening while another DRM client such as fbdev is attached is a normal and reasonable display-device condition.\nPR:L - The relevant KMS modeset paths require DRM master, but an unprivileged local seat/display user can obtain or be delegated a DRM primary-node master fd without real root. Framebuffer removal and file-close cleanup paths are ordinary local file operations after that setup.\nUI:N - The attacker can trigger the needed DRM ioctls and file lifecycle operations directly from their own process. No separate victim action is required.\nS:U - The bug corrupts kernel DRM state within the same host kernel security authority. It is not a VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or cross-scope hardware isolation break.\nC:H - This is a kernel use-after-free of a kmalloc-backed drm_crtc_commit object, with stale references later used by DRM atomic commit handling. Such freed-object reuse can plausibly be shaped into kernel memory disclosure, so confidentiality impact is High.\nI:H - The stale commit pointer can lead to writes/refcount/completion operations on freed and potentially reallocated kernel heap memory. As a kernel UAF with plausible heap spraying and control-flow or data corruption potential, integrity impact is High.\nA:H - The reported failure already shows slab poison corruption after the freed commit object is reused, and repeated triggering can crash or destabilize the kernel. Kernel oops/panic-level denial of service makes availability impact High." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "drivers/gpu/drm/atmel-hlcdc/atmel_hlcdc_plane.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "2389fc1305fc1e2cf8b310a75463fefd3058bf48", "lessThan": "fd4a4d0711f48a99b25bcd45e00eef8339eff82d", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "2389fc1305fc1e2cf8b310a75463fefd3058bf48", "lessThan": "6404898af86d986db1dbbe06177c143e40652e49", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "2389fc1305fc1e2cf8b310a75463fefd3058bf48", "lessThan": "796e77c14c4c1e2cd36473760fb6cc66c695eb47", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "2389fc1305fc1e2cf8b310a75463fefd3058bf48", "lessThan": "ac2d898da5095d46bd1ff8585fdd753d58ad91e7", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "2389fc1305fc1e2cf8b310a75463fefd3058bf48", "lessThan": "a205740a7231e967ac77cb731171642901c327af", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "2389fc1305fc1e2cf8b310a75463fefd3058bf48", "lessThan": "7b4d0fab3ff2c00c6d34e1952c9df5129a826aee", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "2389fc1305fc1e2cf8b310a75463fefd3058bf48", "lessThan": "549c6db503dbb85dbff4840830971853feac6625", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "2389fc1305fc1e2cf8b310a75463fefd3058bf48", "lessThan": "bc847787233277a337788568e90a6ee1557595eb", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "drivers/gpu/drm/atmel-hlcdc/atmel_hlcdc_plane.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "4.1", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "4.1", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.10.252", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.10.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.15.202", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.15.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.1.165", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.6.128", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.12.75", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.18.16", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.19.6", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.19.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.0", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix" } ] } ], "cpeApplicability": [ { "nodes": [ { "operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [ { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.1", "versionEndExcluding": "5.10.252" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.1", "versionEndExcluding": "5.15.202" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.1", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.165" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.1", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.128" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.1", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.75" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.1", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.16" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.1", "versionEndExcluding": "6.19.6" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.1", "versionEndExcluding": "7.0" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fd4a4d0711f48a99b25bcd45e00eef8339eff82d" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6404898af86d986db1dbbe06177c143e40652e49" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/796e77c14c4c1e2cd36473760fb6cc66c695eb47" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ac2d898da5095d46bd1ff8585fdd753d58ad91e7" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a205740a7231e967ac77cb731171642901c327af" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7b4d0fab3ff2c00c6d34e1952c9df5129a826aee" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/549c6db503dbb85dbff4840830971853feac6625" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bc847787233277a337788568e90a6ee1557595eb" } ], "title": "drm/atmel-hlcdc: fix use-after-free of drm_crtc_commit after release", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } } } }
