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/amdgpu: fix amdgpu_hmm_range_get_pages The notifier sequence must only be read once or otherwise we could work with invalid pages. While at it also fix the coding style, e.g. drop the pre-initialized return value and use the common define for 2G range. (cherry picked from commit c08972f555945cda57b0adb72272a37910153390)

Re-reading the MMU notifier sequence per 2GB chunk lets later validation pass while earlier PFNs may reference unmapped or freed pages, giving the GPU (and kernel DMA helpers) a stale-page/use-after-free primitive that can disclose arbitrary physical memory contents.\\nI:H - Stale PFNs from invalidated mappings can be DMA-mapped and written by GPU operations, enabling arbitrary memory corruption and potential control-flow hijacking via repurposed physical pages rather than a bounded or crash-only effect.\\nA:H - Operating on invalid struct page pointers during pinning/DMA mapping can trigger kernel oopses or panics, and the underlying use-after-free class of bug inherently threatens system availability even when full exploitation is not attempted.\"}]}], \"affected\": [{\"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\", \"vendor\": \"Linux\", \"product\": \"Linux\", \"versions\": [{\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"c1420a5dd4dd2a1ffc86965ad1c6f439afb130bc\", \"lessThan\": \"e35cf322897dd4921248d11311a89c865b534c14\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"c1420a5dd4dd2a1ffc86965ad1c6f439afb130bc\", \"lessThan\": \"93a9f121de6383f20290840d025ee28fda5f53b5\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"c1420a5dd4dd2a1ffc86965ad1c6f439afb130bc\", \"lessThan\": \"fa34d3e14cb763b50702e8a0f7d4cfd877a73ab9\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"c1420a5dd4dd2a1ffc86965ad1c6f439afb130bc\", \"lessThan\": \"2fd24407457a6b181ba827705678da70e528dcd0\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"c1420a5dd4dd2a1ffc86965ad1c6f439afb130bc\", \"lessThan\": \"962d684b5dc0741dcd93485d41b450de402d5592\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}], \"programFiles\": [\"drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_hmm.c\"], \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\"}, {\"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\", \"vendor\": \"Linux\", \"product\": \"Linux\", \"versions\": [{\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"6.2\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"0\", \"lessThan\": \"6.2\", \"versionType\": \"semver\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.6.160\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.6.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.12.114\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.12.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.18.57\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.18.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"7.0.12\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"7.0.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"7.1\", \"versionType\": \"original_commit_for_fix\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"*\"}], \"programFiles\": [\"drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_hmm.c\"], \"defaultStatus\": \"affected\"}], \"references\": [{\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e35cf322897dd4921248d11311a89c865b534c14\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/93a9f121de6383f20290840d025ee28fda5f53b5\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fa34d3e14cb763b50702e8a0f7d4cfd877a73ab9\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2fd24407457a6b181ba827705678da70e528dcd0\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/962d684b5dc0741dcd93485d41b450de402d5592\"}], \"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 amdgpu_hmm_range_get_pages\\n\\nThe notifier sequence must only be read once or otherwise we could work\\nwith invalid pages.\\n\\nWhile at it also fix the coding style, e.g. drop the pre-initialized\\nreturn value and use the common define for 2G range.\\n\\n(cherry picked from commit c08972f555945cda57b0adb72272a37910153390)\"}], \"cpeApplicability\": [{\"nodes\": [{\"negate\": false, \"cpeMatch\": [{\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"6.6.160\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"6.2\"}, {\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"6.12.114\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"6.2\"}, {\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"6.18.57\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"6.2\"}, {\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"7.0.12\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"6.2\"}, {\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"7.1\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"6.2\"}], \"operator\": \"OR\"}]}], \"providerMetadata\": {\"orgId\": \"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\", \"shortName\": \"Linux\", \"dateUpdated\": \"2026-10-21T12:42:43.701Z\"}}}",
