Modern drivers skip drm_global_mutex, so open is not serialized with register.\nPR:L - The commit's example publishes the render minor first; that node has no CAP_SYS_ADMIN check, and the overlapping ioctls are DRM_RENDER_ALLOW. Unprivileged local users on phones, desktops, and GPU VMs routinely open /dev/dri/renderD*.\nUI:N - The attacker opens their own DRM fd and issues ioctls; GPU or hotplug display probe runs in kernel driver init and does not require a victim to mount media or open a file.\nS:U - The use-after-free is of host-kernel DRM/driver resources that drm_dev_enter() is meant to protect, remaining in the same kernel authority; this is not a VM escape or IOMMU/DMA bypass.\nC:H - On drm_dev_register() error, probe rollback frees devm MMIO and driver objects while an in-flight drm_dev_enter() ioctl/mmap still uses them, a use-after-free that enables kernel memory disclosure.\nI:H - The same use-after-free of driver state during concurrent ioctl/mmap allows heap spraying, arbitrary writes, and control-flow hijack, matching kernel guidance that UAF is Integrity High.\nA:H - Racing ioctl/mmap against probe teardown oopses or panics via stale mappings or freed objects; a use-after-free also crashes when not fully exploited."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/gpu/drm/drm_drv.c"], "versions": [{"version": "bee330f3d67273a68dcb99f59480d59553c008b2", "lessThan": "26d9162213952927cd59c0d94b7e0e992b347bec", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "bee330f3d67273a68dcb99f59480d59553c008b2", "lessThan": "24d28d15c0f7f7d4a1c229f8730314f0f8758810", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "bee330f3d67273a68dcb99f59480d59553c008b2", "lessThan": "6729990df9e70623bf53f855b521ae71ca9cb278", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "bee330f3d67273a68dcb99f59480d59553c008b2", "lessThan": "a0a7e2e177f2f18b9e7318a4c64ac44efd9ef22c", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "bee330f3d67273a68dcb99f59480d59553c008b2", "lessThan": "19dbfe4d586aecfed121cb3fa62281761d9d341f", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "bee330f3d67273a68dcb99f59480d59553c008b2", "lessThan": "79d09cfe90304ff4f195e47d569800f5e0f8b854", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "bee330f3d67273a68dcb99f59480d59553c008b2", "lessThan": "2d1215a72159d00001e08dee162e27718934bee9", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "bee330f3d67273a68dcb99f59480d59553c008b2", "lessThan": "eb197f7d60f00d0f5b1b3505dfc86a7e36045a3e", "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/drm_drv.c"], "versions": [{"version": "4.18", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "4.18", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "5.10.270", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.10.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "5.15.221", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.15.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.1.188", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.6.157", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.110", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.18.51", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.2.5", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.2.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.3", "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": "4.18", "versionEndExcluding": "5.10.270"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.18", "versionEndExcluding": "5.15.221"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.18", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.188"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.18", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.157"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.18", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.110"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.18", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.51"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.18", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.5"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.18", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/26d9162213952927cd59c0d94b7e0e992b347bec"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/24d28d15c0f7f7d4a1c229f8730314f0f8758810"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6729990df9e70623bf53f855b521ae71ca9cb278"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a0a7e2e177f2f18b9e7318a4c64ac44efd9ef22c"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/19dbfe4d586aecfed121cb3fa62281761d9d341f"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/79d09cfe90304ff4f195e47d569800f5e0f8b854"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2d1215a72159d00001e08dee162e27718934bee9"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/eb197f7d60f00d0f5b1b3505dfc86a7e36045a3e"}], "title": "drm: fix race between partial drm_dev_register() failure and ioctl", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
