That runs from dm_resume() on S3 (amdgpu_pmops_resume -> amdgpu_device_resume) and on runtime resume when drm_open/amdgpu_driver_open_kms or amdgpu_drm_ioctl call pm_runtime_get_sync(). No protocol message carries the trigger.\nAC:L - After a successful amdgpu_dm_crtc_init() reset, crtc->state is live. The buggy amdgpu_dm_crtc_reset_state() then always kfree's it via amdgpu_dm_crtc_destroy_state() before kzalloc_obj(*state); on GFP_KERNEL ENOMEM it returns without clearing crtc->state. A local attacker can force that allocation failure with memory pressure; there is no race.\nPR:L - amdgpu_driver_open_kms() has no capable() check and always calls pm_runtime_get_sync(); amdgpu_drm_ioctl() does the same before drm_ioctl(). Access is the usual /dev/dri/cardN and renderD* nodes granted to the seat user by logind ACLs or the video/render group, not init-namespace root.\nUI:N - The attacker opens /dev/dri/renderD* or issues an amdgpu ioctl after amdgpu autosuspend (pm_runtime_put_autosuspend, 5s delay on the default BACO/PX/BOCO path when no CRTC is active); dm_resume() then runs drm_mode_config_reset() without another user mounting media or plugging hardware.\nS:U - The use-after-free is of host-kernel dm_crtc_state on the amdgpu display CRTC. It does not escape a KVM/Xen guest, bypass the IOMMU, or leave a sandbox.\nC:H - amdgpu_dm_crtc_destroy_state() kfree's the live dm_crtc_state while crtc->state still points at it. drm_atomic_helper_commit_duplicated_state() then loads that freed object as old_state, including dc_stream_state *stream and drm_crtc_state mode_blob/commit/event pointers, a slab UAF read.\nI:H - The same dangling crtc->state is installed as old_state and later passed to atomic_destroy_state again (double-free). Heap reuse of dm_crtc_state lets an attacker control stream, commit, and event pointers consumed by the resume atomic commit, a write and control-flow primitive.\nA:H - drm_atomic_helper_commit_duplicated_state() immediately dereferences the freed dm_crtc_state after drm_mode_config_reset(), causing a kernel oops; the later second destroy is a double-free. Either path oopses or panics the host."}]}], "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/display/amdgpu_dm/amdgpu_dm_crtc.c"], "versions": [{"version": "e7b07ceef2a650e5ed8ca37997689e086c680daf", "lessThan": "0c311d5fcfcd4e83c1aeeb4fccb04861be3357a9", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "e7b07ceef2a650e5ed8ca37997689e086c680daf", "lessThan": "ef3293c87a79f734d506769ff86f99bf1bad522e", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "e7b07ceef2a650e5ed8ca37997689e086c680daf", "lessThan": "9de069b724f3614ed7dd55bfbb37c434db54e128", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "e7b07ceef2a650e5ed8ca37997689e086c680daf", "lessThan": "3a03827bb3cda1527aa923f18160c449f2b4cf2c", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "e7b07ceef2a650e5ed8ca37997689e086c680daf", "lessThan": "32bd68edbc6cbcfac0e4033b64f0bcadbf0efef5", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "e7b07ceef2a650e5ed8ca37997689e086c680daf", "lessThan": "0aeed866cb938943908c3ba46422128e49d2d080", "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/display/amdgpu_dm/amdgpu_dm_crtc.c"], "versions": [{"version": "4.15", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "4.15", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.1.191", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.6.160", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.114", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.18.57", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.2.6", "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": "4.15", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.191"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.15", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.160"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.15", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.114"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.15", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.57"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.15", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.6"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.15", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0c311d5fcfcd4e83c1aeeb4fccb04861be3357a9"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ef3293c87a79f734d506769ff86f99bf1bad522e"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9de069b724f3614ed7dd55bfbb37c434db54e128"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3a03827bb3cda1527aa923f18160c449f2b4cf2c"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/32bd68edbc6cbcfac0e4033b64f0bcadbf0efef5"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0aeed866cb938943908c3ba46422128e49d2d080"}], "title": "drm/amd/display: Fix dangling pointer in CRTC reset function", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
