Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-05-28 12:30 – Updated: 2026-05-30 12:30

Details

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

drm/xe: Fix dma-buf attachment leak in xe_gem_prime_import()

When xe_dma_buf_init_obj() fails, the attachment from dma_buf_dynamic_attach() is not detached. Add dma_buf_detach() before returning the error. Note: we cannot use goto out_err here because xe_dma_buf_init_obj() already frees bo on failure, and out_err would double-free it.

(cherry picked from commit a828eb185aac41800df8eae4b60501ccc0dbbe51)

Severity

7.8 (High)

No real root is required.\nUI:N - The attacker performs the prime-import ioctl directly; no victim action is needed.\nS:U - The dangling attachment and freed bo are kernel-internal to the GPU/dma-buf subsystem; the impact stays within the kernel\u0027s security authority.\nC:H - The leaked attachment leaves a dangling importer_priv to the freed bo; via the exporter\u0027s move_notify path the freed (reallocatable) object is dereferenced, enabling disclosure of attacker-influenced freed-object contents (UAF).\nI:H - The use-after-free allows the freed bo to be reclaimed and controlled via heap spray, after which xe_dma_buf_move_notify()/xe_bo_evict() operate on attacker-controlled memory, yielding a write/control-flow primitive.\nA:H - Dereferencing the freed bo through the leaked attachment\u0027s move_notify callback corrupts kernel state and readily causes an oops/panic; the attachment also constitutes a kernel memory leak."
