amdxdna_gem_dmabuf_mmap() has no network, adjacent-radio, or physical-bus entry point.\nAC:L - After exporting a BO and closing its GEM handle (leaving only the dma-buf ref), the vm_insert_pages() error path deterministically double-puts the object; the attacker can force insert failure via RLIMIT_AS/cgroup memory pressure without uncontrollable races or victim-specific state.\nPR:L - CREATE_BO and PRIME ioctls are registered without DRM_ROOT_ONLY/AUTH; any unprivileged local user permitted to open the AMD XDNA accel node (typically render/video group on Ryzen AI systems) can create, export, and mmap buffers without real root or init-namespace capabilities.\nUI:N - The attacker opens the accel device, creates and exports a buffer, closes the handle, and mmap()s the dma-buf fd in their own process; no separate victim mount, file open, or other user interaction is required.\nS:U - The double drm_gem_object_put() use-after-free corrupts kernel slab metadata within the same kernel security authority; it is not a VM escape, hypervisor breakout, or IOMMU DMA-boundary bypass as a direct consequence of this refcount bug.\nC:H - UAF on the freed drm_gem_object during the second drm_gem_object_put() lets an attacker reclaim slab objects via heap grooming, enabling arbitrary kernel memory disclosure beyond a bounded metadata leak.\nI:H - The erroneous second put on a freed GEM object provides slab corruption primitives that can be developed into arbitrary kernel writes and local privilege escalation, not merely limited data modification.\nA:H - The use-after-free in drm_gem_object_put() dereferences freed kmem and can immediately provoke kernel oops/panic; repeated triggering sustains denial of service on the NPU host."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/accel/amdxdna/amdxdna_gem.c"], "versions": [{"version": "e486147c912f653ef4b60a6c7dbd4168a4c56a9f", "lessThan": "4e370b5289624f46a356dcc94f9f87025eaa6036", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "e486147c912f653ef4b60a6c7dbd4168a4c56a9f", "lessThan": "5da885c39baa70f570a8be35a78e85a351f33918", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "e486147c912f653ef4b60a6c7dbd4168a4c56a9f", "lessThan": "63bbf9ac5dde2ba85e7b39d0a0b7d540e6252ba4", "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/accel/amdxdna/amdxdna_gem.c"], "versions": [{"version": "6.16", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "6.16", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.18.40", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.1.5", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.2", "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": "6.16", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.40"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.16", "versionEndExcluding": "7.1.5"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.16", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4e370b5289624f46a356dcc94f9f87025eaa6036"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5da885c39baa70f570a8be35a78e85a351f33918"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/63bbf9ac5dde2ba85e7b39d0a0b7d540e6252ba4"}], "title": "accel/amdxdna: Fix use-after-free in amdxdna_gem_dmabuf_mmap()", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
