Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2022-50303)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2022-50303). 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/amdkfd: Fix double release compute pasid
If kfd_process_device_init_vm returns failure after vm is converted to
compute vm and vm->pasid set to compute pasid, KFD will not take
pdd->drm_file reference. As a result, drm close file handler maybe
called to release the compute pasid before KFD process destroy worker to
release the same pasid and set vm->pasid to zero, this generates below
WARNING backtrace and NULL pointer access.
Add helper amdgpu_amdkfd_gpuvm_set_vm_pasid and call it at the last step
of kfd_process_device_init_vm, to ensure vm pasid is the original pasid
if acquiring vm failed or is the compute pasid with pdd->drm_file
reference taken to avoid double release same pasid.
amdgpu: Failed to create process VM object
ida_free called for id=32770 which is not allocated.
