Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2022-50035). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: Fix use-after-free on amdgpu_bo_list mutex
If amdgpu_cs_vm_handling returns r != 0, then it will unlock the
bo_list_mutex inside the function amdgpu_cs_vm_handling and again on
amdgpu_cs_parser_fini. This problem results in the following
use-after-free problem:
