AI-suggested
An official patch is available and should be applied to affected Linux kernel versions to address this vulnerability. The fix properly unlinks list entries before freeing them, preventing use-after-free and double-free issues. Users should update to patched kernel versions as provided by their distribution vendors.
Description
A use-after-free and double-free vulnerability was found and fixed in the Linux kernel's AMD KFD driver (drm/amdkfd). The flaw occurs in the kfd_criu_resume_svm() function where list entries are freed without being removed from the list, leading to potential memory corruption. This vulnerability is exploitable by unprivileged users with render-group access via /dev/kfd without requiring additional capabilities. The issue has been patched in affected Linux kernel versions.
