Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: Fix fence put before wait in amdgpu_amdkfd_submit_ib amdgpu_amdkfd_submit_ib() submits a GPU job and gets a fence from amdgpu_ib_schedule(). This fence is used to wait for job completion. Currently, the code drops the fence reference using dma_fence_put() before calling dma_fence_wait(). If dma_fence_put() releases the last reference, the fence may be freed before dma_fence_wait() is called. This can lead to a use-after-free. Fix this by waiting on the fence first and releasing the reference only after dma_fence_wait() completes. Fixes the below: drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_amdkfd.c:697 amdgpu_amdkfd_submit_ib() warn: passing freed memory 'f' (line 696) (cherry picked from commit 8b9e5259adc385b61a6590a13b82ae0ac2bd3482)

Per kernel scoring guidance, UAF memory corruption can be leveraged for high confidentiality impact.\\nI:H - The same UAF exposes kernel object lifetime corruption in a wait path using function pointers, locks, callbacks, and list state. Per guidance, UAF memory corruption is scored as high integrity impact.\\nA:H - Even without full exploitation, using a freed fence in `dma_fence_wait()` can cause kernel warnings, crashes, hangs, or panics. A kernel UAF therefore has high availability impact.\"}]}], \"affected\": [{\"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\", \"vendor\": \"Linux\", \"product\": \"Linux\", \"versions\": [{\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"9ae55f030dc523fc4dc6069557e4a887ea815453\", \"lessThan\": \"bc7760c107dc08ef3e231d72c492e67b0a86848b\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"9ae55f030dc523fc4dc6069557e4a887ea815453\", \"lessThan\": \"e23602eb0779760544314ed3905fa6a89a4e4070\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"9ae55f030dc523fc4dc6069557e4a887ea815453\", \"lessThan\": \"138e42be35ff2ce6572ae744de851ea286cf3c69\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"9ae55f030dc523fc4dc6069557e4a887ea815453\", \"lessThan\": \"39820864eacd886f1a6f817414fb8f9ea3e9a2b4\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"9ae55f030dc523fc4dc6069557e4a887ea815453\", \"lessThan\": \"42d248726a0837640452b71c5a202ca3d35239ec\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"9ae55f030dc523fc4dc6069557e4a887ea815453\", \"lessThan\": \"7150850146ebfa4ca998f653f264b8df6f7f85be\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}], \"programFiles\": [\"drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_amdkfd.c\"], \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\"}, {\"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\", \"vendor\": \"Linux\", \"product\": \"Linux\", \"versions\": [{\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"6.0\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"0\", \"lessThan\": \"6.0\", \"versionType\": \"semver\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.1.168\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.1.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.6.131\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.6.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.12.80\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.12.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.18.21\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.18.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.19.11\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.19.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"7.0\", \"versionType\": \"original_commit_for_fix\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"*\"}], \"programFiles\": [\"drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_amdkfd.c\"], \"defaultStatus\": \"affected\"}], \"references\": [{\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bc7760c107dc08ef3e231d72c492e67b0a86848b\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e23602eb0779760544314ed3905fa6a89a4e4070\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/138e42be35ff2ce6572ae744de851ea286cf3c69\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/39820864eacd886f1a6f817414fb8f9ea3e9a2b4\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/42d248726a0837640452b71c5a202ca3d35239ec\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7150850146ebfa4ca998f653f264b8df6f7f85be\"}], \"x_generator\": {\"engine\": \"bippy-1.2.0\"}, \"descriptions\": [{\"lang\": \"en\", \"value\": \"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\\n\\ndrm/amdgpu: Fix fence put before wait in amdgpu_amdkfd_submit_ib\\n\\namdgpu_amdkfd_submit_ib() submits a GPU job and gets a fence\\nfrom amdgpu_ib_schedule().
