The list head is left pointing at\nfreed kmalloc-96 objects.\n\nA second AMDKFD_IOC_CRIU_OP from the same process re-enters: list_empty()\nreads the dangling ->next (use-after-free), the loop walks freed entries,\nand each is kfree()'d again (double-free). This is reachable by an\nunprivileged render-group user via /dev/kfd with no capabilities required.\n\nAdd list_del() before the kfree() so the list is properly emptied. The\nlist_for_each_entry_safe() iterator already caches the next pointer, so\nunlinking during the walk is safe.\n\n(cherry picked from commit 6322d278a298e2c1430b9d2697743d3a04b788b1)" } ], "metrics": [ { "cvssV3_1": { "version": "3.1", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H", "baseScore": 7.8, "baseSeverity": "HIGH" }, "scenarios": [ { "lang": "en", "value": "AV:L - The bug is reached only via the local AMDKFD_IOC_CRIU_OP ioctl on /dev/kfd (unlocked_ioctl -> kfd_ioctl_criu -> criu_resume -> kfd_criu_resume_svm); there is no network, adjacent-radio, or physical-device entry path.\nAC:L - An attacker who can open /dev/kfd controls the full CRIU restore/resume ioctl sequence and can deterministically trigger the bug by issuing KFD_CRIU_OP_RESUME twice after restore populates criu_svm_metadata_list; no uncontrollable race or rare layout is required.\nPR:L - The fix commit and ioctl path show exploitation by a local render-group user opening /dev/kfd; CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE/SYS_ADMIN gates CRIU ioctls but are obtainable in a user namespace, matching basic local user privilege rather than init-namespace root only.\nUI:N - Exploitation requires only the attacker's own ioctl calls to /dev/kfd after CRIU restore; no victim click, mount, file open, or other interactive action is needed.\nS:U - Corruption is confined to kernel heap list metadata in amdkfd for the calling KFD process context; impact stays within the kernel security authority and does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or hypervisor boundary.\nC:H - After the first resume, list_empty() and list iteration dereference freed kmalloc-96 criu_svm_metadata objects (use-after-free reads of ->next/list pointers), enabling attacker-influenced heap disclosure beyond a bounded leak.\nI:H - A second resume walks the corrupted list and kfree()s the same objects again (double-free on kmalloc-96 slabs), a standard exploitable kernel heap primitive for arbitrary memory corruption and potential privilege escalation.\nA:H - The use-after-free and double-free reliably corrupt kernel heap state and commonly cause BUG/KASAN faults, oops, or panic when the dangling list is traversed again, producing system-wide denial of service." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdkfd/kfd_svm.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "2a909ae718715b3bac75d945e38dc0a5e4a0f1ba", "lessThan": "c8a8d350a273c005a48c64c4519d21b2a51c5ceb", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "2a909ae718715b3bac75d945e38dc0a5e4a0f1ba", "lessThan": "506e635aed05dbdeef11e3c59f6e42980cda5b6d", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "2a909ae718715b3bac75d945e38dc0a5e4a0f1ba", "lessThan": "838b57b3e7ce8cce0fda56d0861add3d464dd6c8", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "2a909ae718715b3bac75d945e38dc0a5e4a0f1ba", "lessThan": "96ac562a9ea3020981f536384711190841c81aa8", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "2a909ae718715b3bac75d945e38dc0a5e4a0f1ba", "lessThan": "e33a3bd5cb8d0cf1557dee014115f812c9686130", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "2a909ae718715b3bac75d945e38dc0a5e4a0f1ba", "lessThan": "8fa5655da368d0306c03e9dc9cda8ae2a7840926", "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/amd/amdkfd/kfd_svm.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "5.18", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "5.18", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.1.178", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.6.145", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.12.97", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.18.40", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.1.5", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.2", "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": "5.18", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.178" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.18", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.145" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.18", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.97" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.18", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.40" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.18", "versionEndExcluding": "7.1.5" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.18", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c8a8d350a273c005a48c64c4519d21b2a51c5ceb" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/506e635aed05dbdeef11e3c59f6e42980cda5b6d" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/838b57b3e7ce8cce0fda56d0861add3d464dd6c8" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/96ac562a9ea3020981f536384711190841c81aa8" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e33a3bd5cb8d0cf1557dee014115f812c9686130" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8fa5655da368d0306c03e9dc9cda8ae2a7840926" } ], "title": "drm/amdkfd: fix list_del corruption in kfd_criu_resume_svm", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } } } }
