Details

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

drm/amdgpu: fix double free err_addr pointer warnings

In amdgpu_umc_bad_page_polling_timeout, the amdgpu_umc_handle_bad_pages will be run many times so that double free err_addr in some special case. So set the err_addr to NULL to avoid the warnings.

No network or adjacent-network input reaches amdgpu_umc_handle_bad_pages().\nAC:H - Triggering requires a real uncorrectable ECC/poison event in GPU HBM and, on a later poll iteration, amdgpu_dpm_get_ecc_info() returning a value other than 0 or -EOPNOTSUPP so that neither allocation branch runs \u2014 both conditions are hardware/firmware state the attacker cannot manufacture. The ~100-iteration polling loop gives many attempts per event, but the initiating hardware fault remains outside attacker control.\nPR:L - The consumption side is driven by an unprivileged userspace compute process \u2014 event_interrupt_poison_consumption_v11() dispatches on the job\u0027s PASID, and /dev/kfd and /dev/dri/renderD* are routinely granted to the render group on ML/HPC and multi-tenant GPU nodes and inside GPU containers. Root is not required (the debugfs ras_ctrl injection interface is merely a more reliable alternate route, and is itself created with world-writable S_IWUGO mode bits).\nUI:N - The double free happens autonomously inside the RAS interrupt handler and the amdgpu_ras_page_retirement_thread kthread once the poison event occurs. No victim action of any kind is needed.\nS:U - The corruption is confined to the host kernel\u0027s slab allocator, within the same security authority. The SR-IOV VF branch of amdgpu_umc_poison_handler() bypasses this code entirely, so no guest-to-host or IOMMU boundary is crossed.\nC:H - Beyond the generic UAF read primitive from a double free, there is a concrete disclosure path: the stale err_addr is passed to amdgpu_ras_add_bad_pages() with a persisted err_addr_cnt, copying freed slab contents into con-\u003eeh_data-\u003ebps, which are then persisted to the RAS EEPROM and readable by any local user through the S_IRUGO gpu_vram_bad_pages sysfs binary attribute.\nI:H - Freeing the same kcalloc\u0027d object twice corrupts the SLUB freelist and, if the object is reallocated between the two frees, releases a live in-use allocation \u2014 a standard route to a controlled arbitrary-write primitive. The stale-pointer data additionally drives amdgpu_vram_mgr_reserve_range() and permanent RAS EEPROM writes with garbage retired-page addresses.\nA:H - With CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED or SLUB debug the double free is detected and panics/BUGs immediately; without it the resulting freelist corruption and use-after-free crash the kernel. Either way the outcome is a full denial of service, compounded by the mode-2 GPU reset already in flight on this path."
