Severity ?
7.8 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/panthor: Fix race when converting group handle to group object XArray provides it's own internal lock which protects the internal array when entries are being simultaneously added and removed. However there is still a race between retrieving the pointer from the XArray and incrementing the reference count. To avoid this race simply hold the internal XArray lock when incrementing the reference count, this ensures there cannot be a racing call to xa_erase().

This requires local access to the device file; there is no network or remote path.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the race \u2014 one thread calls GROUP_SUBMIT/GROUP_GET_STATE while another calls GROUP_DESTROY on the same handle and the same drm_file \u2014 and the create/destroy/submit loop is cheap enough to retry indefinitely until the window between `xa_load()` and `kref_get()` is hit. No condition depends on anything outside the attacker\u0027s control.\nPR:L - All panthor group ioctls are tagged `DRM_RENDER_ALLOW` with no capability check, so any unprivileged local user with render-node access can reach them; on Android and Chromebook-class Mali CSF devices that is every application. Only a basic local account is needed, not root.\nUI:N - The attacker\u0027s own process performs every step \u2014 open the render node, create a group, and race two of its own threads. No victim action or interaction is required.\nS:U - The use-after-free corrupts kernel heap memory within the same kernel security authority; there is no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary crossed. Impact is confined to standard kernel-level compromise.\nC:H - The dangling `panthor_group` is subsequently dereferenced for `queue_count`, `queues[idx]-\u003eentity`, and `vm`, so a heap-sprayed replacement object (trivially another same-sized `panthor_group`) yields attacker-directed pointer reads. This gives a path to arbitrary kernel memory disclosure, not a bounded leak.\nI:H - `kref_get()` performs a write (refcount increment) into freed/reallocated memory, and the later `group_put()` decrements a refcount the caller never owned, enabling premature free of a live object. Combined with the controlled `queues[]`/`entity` pointers fed into `drm_sched_job_init()`, this is exploitable for arbitrary write and control-flow hijack.\nA:H - Even without successful exploitation, the use-after-free produces a refcount saturation warning, corrupted slab state, and dereference of freed memory, reliably causing an oops or panic. The race can be triggered repeatedly to crash the system at will."
