If any fail after\nthe handle is live, the error path calls drm_gem_shmem_object_free()\nwhich kfree's the object without removing the handle from the IDR.\n\nThis leaves a dangling handle pointing to freed slab memory. Any\nsubsequent ioctl using that handle (PREP_BO, FINI_BO, SUBMIT) calls\ndrm_gem_object_lookup() and dereferences freed memory (UAF).\n\nFix by moving drm_gem_handle_create() to after all fallible operations\nsucceed, matching the pattern used by panfrost, lima, and etnaviv.\n\nAlso fix drm_mm_insert_node_generic() whose return value was silently\noverwritten by iommu_map_sgtable() on the next line. Add the missing\nerror check.\n\n[tomeu: Move handle creation to the very end]"}],"metrics":[{"cvssV3_1":{"version":"3.1","vectorString":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","baseScore":7.8,"baseSeverity":"HIGH"},"scenarios":[{"lang":"en","value":"AV:L - The bug is reached only through DRM ioctls on the local /dev/accel/accel* character device; there is no network, adjacent-wireless, or physical bus path to rocket_ioctl_create_bo().\nAC:L - An attacker fully controls both steps—forcing CREATE_BO to fail after handle insertion (e.g., by exhausting the per-fd IOMMU drm_mm aperture or triggering sgt/iommu_map errors) and then issuing PREP_BO/FINI_BO/SUBMIT with the returned dangling handle—without depending on external timing or victim state.\nPR:L - All rocket ioctls are registered with DRM_IOCTL_DEF_DRV flags 0 (no DRM_ROOT_ONLY/DRM_AUTH/DRM_MASTER), requiring only the ability to open the accel device node, which is standard unprivileged local access on RK3588 edge-AI/embedded systems running ML workloads.\nUI:N - Exploitation requires no action from a separate victim; the attacker creates the dangling handle and triggers the UAF through their own ioctl sequence on a device they opened.\nS:U - Impact is kernel heap UAF leading to local privilege escalation or crash within the same kernel security authority; it is not a VM escape, IOMMU DMA-boundary bypass, or cross-hypervisor attack.\nC:H - The dangling GEM handle causes use-after-free of a kmalloc'd rocket_gem_object; subsequent lookups dereference freed slab memory (resv, sgt, mm node fields), enabling arbitrary kernel memory read via heap grooming.\nI:H - UAF on the GEM object structure allows heap spraying to corrupt kernel metadata and control flow; the SUBMIT ioctl path further processes corrupted BO pointers for NPU job scheduling, supporting arbitrary write and code execution primitives.\nA:H - UAF dereferences in PREP_BO/FINI_BO/SUBMIT reliably cause kernel oops/panic, and the dangling-handle condition is repeatable for sustained denial of service."}]}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/accel/rocket/rocket_gem.c"],"versions":[{"version":"658ebeac33517bd3169d4b65ed801e9065d0211a","lessThan":"18abd88d19ea195e2e1547fca0970c2f91d77a42","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"658ebeac33517bd3169d4b65ed801e9065d0211a","lessThan":"451f1ccbbdb7b65021646704b15902655f8d228a","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"658ebeac33517bd3169d4b65ed801e9065d0211a","lessThan":"f706e6a4ce75585af979aec3dcbdce68bc76306b","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/rocket/rocket_gem.c"],"versions":[{"version":"6.18","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"6.18","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.35","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.0.12","lessThanOrEqual":"7.0.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.1","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":"6.18","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.35"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.18","versionEndExcluding":"7.0.12"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.18","versionEndExcluding":"7.1"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/18abd88d19ea195e2e1547fca0970c2f91d77a42"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/451f1ccbbdb7b65021646704b15902655f8d228a"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f706e6a4ce75585af979aec3dcbdce68bc76306b"}],"title":"accel/rocket: fix UAF via dangling GEM handle in create_bo","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
