No network or physical-device packet path reaches this code.\nAC:L - The race is between attacker-controlled processes sharing the same drm_file after fork and issuing concurrent VM-acquire operations. Because the attacker controls both sides of the race, this is low complexity.\nPR:L - An unprivileged local user with access to /dev/kfd and the amdgpu render node can issue the relevant ioctls; no real root or init-namespace capability check is required. This is basic local user access rather than administrative privilege.\nUI:N - Exploitation does not require a victim user action after the attacker has local execution and device access. The attacker can open the device files, fork, and invoke the ioctls directly.\nS:U - The bug corrupts kernel driver state within the same kernel security authority. It is a standard local kernel memory-corruption/privilege-escalation scenario, not a VM escape or other scope change.\nC:H - The non-atomic VM ownership assignment can leave stale amdkfd_process_info references and cause a kernel use-after-free. Following kernel UAF scoring guidance, this can be leveraged for high-impact information disclosure.\nI:H - The freed process_info object contains list, mutex, fence, and process state used later by KFD/GPUVM paths, making this kernel memory corruption. A defensible worst case is arbitrary kernel memory modification or control-flow influence.\nA:H - Even without full exploitation, the UAF and associated list/lifetime corruption can crash or hang the kernel. Kernel oops/panic-level denial of service is high availability impact."}]}],"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_amdkfd_gpuvm.c"],"versions":[{"version":"ede0dd86f45adf2b7083bb161f6bc81da5fe2bad","lessThan":"ae87aea330c24f462fc7058ed543ba8bc6798447","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"ede0dd86f45adf2b7083bb161f6bc81da5fe2bad","lessThan":"46d309996bd9251792d7dafdbaf615cf202b4447","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"ede0dd86f45adf2b7083bb161f6bc81da5fe2bad","lessThan":"e61e355cbe49e585097eee28c15b862bfb1c0668","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"ede0dd86f45adf2b7083bb161f6bc81da5fe2bad","lessThan":"c658c1c85ec235b7ecfbf8dbfee385b1332088f4","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"ede0dd86f45adf2b7083bb161f6bc81da5fe2bad","lessThan":"904025fa8bba1d028adade33346372b4ac1a9249","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"ede0dd86f45adf2b7083bb161f6bc81da5fe2bad","lessThan":"7885eb335d8f9e9942925d57e300a85e3f82ded4","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"ede0dd86f45adf2b7083bb161f6bc81da5fe2bad","lessThan":"94b7782d0c8024f5b88454241c8d4777076c3786","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"ede0dd86f45adf2b7083bb161f6bc81da5fe2bad","lessThan":"2c1030f2e84885cc58bffef6af67d5b9d2e7098f","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_amdkfd_gpuvm.c"],"versions":[{"version":"4.17","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"4.17","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.10.253","lessThanOrEqual":"5.10.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.15.203","lessThanOrEqual":"5.15.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.1.167","lessThanOrEqual":"6.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.130","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.78","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.19","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.19.9","lessThanOrEqual":"6.19.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.0","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":"4.17","versionEndExcluding":"5.10.253"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.17","versionEndExcluding":"5.15.203"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.17","versionEndExcluding":"6.1.167"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.17","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.130"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.17","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.78"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.17","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.19"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.17","versionEndExcluding":"6.19.9"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.17","versionEndExcluding":"7.0"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ae87aea330c24f462fc7058ed543ba8bc6798447"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/46d309996bd9251792d7dafdbaf615cf202b4447"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e61e355cbe49e585097eee28c15b862bfb1c0668"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c658c1c85ec235b7ecfbf8dbfee385b1332088f4"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/904025fa8bba1d028adade33346372b4ac1a9249"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7885eb335d8f9e9942925d57e300a85e3f82ded4"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/94b7782d0c8024f5b88454241c8d4777076c3786"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2c1030f2e84885cc58bffef6af67d5b9d2e7098f"}],"title":"drm/amdgpu: Fix use-after-free race in VM acquire","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
