GHSA-8G7Q-J2W9-QR8R

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-11-08 06:30 – Updated: 2025-11-04 00:31

Details

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

HID: amd_sfh: Switch to device-managed dmam_alloc_coherent()

Using the device-managed version allows to simplify clean-up in probe() error path.

Additionally, this device-managed ensures proper cleanup, which helps to resolve memory errors, page faults, btrfs going read-only, and btrfs disk corruption.

Severity

5.5 (Medium)

There is no network, adjacent-network, or removable-device path to the flaw.\nAC:L - The premature dma_free_coherent() happens deterministically on every teardown, and in the probe-failure path no stop command is ever sent so the firmware DMAs into the freed pages indefinitely; a local attacker can reliably shape which structures land on the recycled pages via memory pressure. Multiple independent reporters reproduced the corruption on stock systems.\nPR:L - The damaging state arises during automatic boot-time probe with no privileged action at all, and a basic local user can drive page reallocation into the stale-DMA target; no capability check gates the resulting memory corruption.\nUI:N - The probe error path executes from the driver\u0027s init workqueue during boot with no user present, and teardown-time frees need no victim action. Nothing must be opened, mounted, or clicked.\nS:U - The corrupted memory is ordinary kernel memory managed by the same security authority as the driver. dma_free_coherent() tears down any IOMMU mapping, so this is stale DMA on untranslated configurations rather than a DMA/IOMMU boundary bypass.\nC:H - Freed coherent pages return to the buddy allocator and can be handed to page cache, slab, or userspace, so the write-after-free corrupts arbitrary reallocated kernel objects and can be leveraged into disclosure of their contents. Sensor data is also deposited into whatever memory now owns those pages.\nI:H - The MP2 co-processor repeatedly writes 32 bytes into memory the kernel has reassigned, giving an uncontrolled kernel write primitive; reporters observed this propagate to persistent btrfs metadata corruption on disk.\nA:H - The stale DMA produced page faults, kernel memory errors, and btrfs filesystems forced read-only, i.e. system crashes and loss of filesystem availability."

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.

Related by attack behaviour

Vulnerabilities whose description is nearest to this one in the vector space of the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-biencoder model. This is a similarity search over the bi-encoder space (plain cosine), not a classification, and it has no measured accuracy.
