There is no remote or adjacent-network path to this code.\nAC:L - Triggering the unlocked amdgpu_vm_bo_del() requires nothing more than closing the DRM fd, and the attacker controls both sides of the resulting race \u2014 one thread submits faulting GPU work or VRAM eviction pressure (driving amdgpu_vm_handle_fault/amdgpu_vm_bo_invalidate under the root PD reservation) while another loops open/close. On SR-IOV VFs the CSA path is taken with stock settings, requiring no special tuning.\nPR:L - Only an unprivileged local user with access to the DRM render node is needed \u2014 these are group-accessible on ordinary distributions and available to every app on Android; no capability check exists on the path from drm_release to amdgpu_driver_postclose_kms.\nUI:N - The attacker performs the fd close and the concurrent GPU submissions entirely within their own process; no victim action is involved.\nS:U - Corruption is confined to the guest/host kernel that owns the amdgpu VM; even on an SR-IOV virtual function the VF remains constrained by host GPU/IOMMU isolation, so no security authority is crossed.\nC:H - Unlocked removal from the vm->va interval tree and vm->freed list racing with locked traversals leaves freed amdgpu_bo_va_mapping objects reachable, and corrupted GPU page-table updates map DMA-visible memory, yielding an arbitrary-read primitive over kernel memory.\nI:H - The same rb-tree/list corruption and use-after-free on mapping structures provide a write primitive, and because the affected structures drive GPU PTE programming, an attacker can influence which physical memory the GPU is allowed to write.\nA:H - The path contains an explicit BUG_ON() plus the dma_resv_assert_held() WARN reported in the commit \u2014 the latter panics outright under panic_on_warn \u2014 and the underlying race produces oopses from torn interval-tree state on every fd close."}]}], "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/amdgpu/amdgpu_csa.c", "drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_csa.h", "drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_kms.c"], "versions": [{"version": "d38ceaf99ed015f2a0b9af3499791bd3a3daae21", "lessThan": "1bc35e637a81dac5f5155e83a277c26708c4d4d7", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "d38ceaf99ed015f2a0b9af3499791bd3a3daae21", "lessThan": "ae325b245208394279a1dc412c831ebd71befb0d", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "d38ceaf99ed015f2a0b9af3499791bd3a3daae21", "lessThan": "a3a96bf843c356d1d9b2d7f6d0784b6ee28ca9d0", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "d38ceaf99ed015f2a0b9af3499791bd3a3daae21", "lessThan": "5daff15cd013422bc6d1efcfe82b586800025384", "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/amdgpu/amdgpu_csa.c", "drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_csa.h", "drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_kms.c"], "versions": [{"version": "4.2", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "4.2", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "5.15.209", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.15.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.1.167", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.4.12", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.4.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.5", "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": "4.2", "versionEndExcluding": "5.15.209"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.2", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.167"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.2", "versionEndExcluding": "6.4.12"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.2", "versionEndExcluding": "6.5"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1bc35e637a81dac5f5155e83a277c26708c4d4d7"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ae325b245208394279a1dc412c831ebd71befb0d"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a3a96bf843c356d1d9b2d7f6d0784b6ee28ca9d0"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5daff15cd013422bc6d1efcfe82b586800025384"}], "title": "drm/amdgpu: unmap and remove csa_va properly", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
