Описание

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/nouveau: RCU-free the scheduler-containing nouveau_sched struct nouveau_sched embeds a struct drm_gpu_scheduler (base). nouveau_sched_destroy() calls nouveau_sched_fini() (which does drm_sched_fini(&sched->base)) and then frees the object with plain kfree(sched). drm_sched_fence_get_timeline_name() returns fence->sched->name, and the scheduler fence keeps a .release callback so it is not ops-detached on signalling. A finished fence exported to userspace via drm_syncobj / sync_file therefore keeps pointing at &sched->base after nouveau_sched_destroy(), and a later get_timeline_name() -- reachable unprivileged through SYNC_IOC_FILE_INFO -- dereferences freed memory (KASAN slab-use-after-free read). Per the dma-fence lifetime contract the exporter must keep the data backing a signalled fence alive for an RCU grace period. Free the scheduler-containing object with kfree_rcu() instead of kfree().

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Nouveau graphics driver. When destroying a GPU scheduler object, the driver frees memory prematurely while user-space synchronization objects still hold references to it. A local, unprivileged user could exploit this flaw by querying synchronization file information to trigger a use-after-free read, potentially leading to a system crash and Denial of Service (DoS) or information disclosure.

Отчет

This vulnerability is rated as Moderate severity because exploitation is restricted to local unprivileged users on systems actively utilizing the open-source Nouveau graphics driver for NVIDIA GPUs. While a local attacker can trigger a kernel crash resulting in a denial of service by querying synchronization file handles after scheduler destruction, it does not permit remote access or arbitrary code execution. Systems lacking NVIDIA display hardware or enterprise installations running alternative display drivers are unaffected.
