CVE-2023-53228

drm/amdgpu: drop redundant sched job cleanup when cs is aborted

Published Sep 15, 2025 CVSS 3.1 · 5.5 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/amdgpu: drop redundant sched job cleanup when cs is aborted

Once command submission failed due to userptr invalidation in
amdgpu_cs_submit, legacy code will perform cleanup of scheduler
job. However, it's not needed at all, as former commit has integrated
job cleanup stuff into amdgpu_job_free. Otherwise, because of double
free, a NULL pointer dereference will occur in such scenario.
