CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability in the Linux kernel affects the AMDGPU graphics driver, specifically in the handling of buffer object mappings. An unchecked NULL pointer dereference can occur when processes in the render group request mapping information for unmapped buffer objects, potentially leading to a denial of service. Organizations utilizing AMDGPU drivers in their Linux environments should prioritize addressing this issue to maintain system stability and prevent crashes.
Original NVD Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: check amdgpu_vm_bo_find() result in GET_MAPPING_INFO The AMDGPU_GEM_OP_GET_MAPPING_INFO path of amdgpu_gem_op_ioctl() looks up the bo_va for the buffer object in the caller's VM via amdgpu_vm_bo_find(), but uses the returned pointer without checking it. amdgpu_vm_bo_find() returns NULL when the BO has no bo_va in that VM, which is the normal case for a BO that has never been mapped. The result is fed straight into amdgpu_vm_bo_va_for_each_valid_mapping(), which expands to list_for_each_entry(mapping, &(bo_va)->valids, list) and dereferences bo_va, causing a NULL pointer dereference. This is reachable by any process able to issue the ioctl (render group) simply by requesting mapping info for an unmapped BO. Return -ENOENT when no bo_va is found, jumping to out_exec so the drm_exec context and GEM object reference are released. (cherry picked from commit 528b19377affc1cc7362a70a254c1dda793595f9)
