AI-suggested
An official patch is available and should be applied to affected Linux kernel versions to remediate this vulnerability. The fix unifies the CPU job teardown path, eliminating the use-after-free, NULL dereference, and sync object leaks. Users should update to patched kernel versions as provided by their Linux distribution vendors. No additional mitigation is required beyond applying the official fix.
Description
A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's drm/v3d CPU job query arrays on the error path was fixed. The flaw involved improper freeing of CPU job timestamp and performance query arrays, leading to use-after-free, NULL dereference, and sync object reference leaks. The fix unified the CPU job teardown to a single path, eliminating these issues. This vulnerability affects multiple Linux kernel versions prior to 7.0.0 and specific older versions. A patch is available to address the issue.
