CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability affects the Linux kernel, specifically within the AMD GPU driver (amdgpu), where improper resource management during device teardown can lead to kernel page faults. This issue arises when the aperture device resources are released before the associated DRM device callbacks are executed, potentially causing system instability or crashes. Organizations utilizing Linux with AMD graphics hardware should prioritize addressing this vulnerability to maintain system reliability and prevent unexpected failures.
Original NVD Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Revert "drm/amdgpu: fix aperture mapping leak" devres teardown is LIFO. The aperture devres node was registered after the DRM device node, so devres_release_all() unmaps the aperture before the DRM device release callback fires amdgpu_device_fini_sw(). IP sw_fini callbacks (e.g. vcn_v4_0_sw_fini) write to fw_shared through a pointer derived from aper_base_kaddr, causing a kernel page fault on probe failure / rollback: BUG: unable to handle page fault ... PMD 0 RIP: vcn_v4_0_sw_fini+0x7b/0x170 [amdgpu] Call Trace: amdgpu_device_fini_sw amdgpu_driver_release_kms devm_drm_dev_init_release devres_release_all This reverts commit d871e99879cb5fd1fa798b006b4888887e63a17a.
