AI-suggested

A fix has been implemented in the Linux kernel to address this vulnerability. Users and administrators should apply the official kernel updates that include this patch once available. Since this is not a cloud service, remediation depends on updating the affected Linux kernel versions.

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/panthor: Fix UAF on kernel BO VA nodes If the MMU is down, panthor_vm_unmap_range() might return an error. We expect the page table to be updated still, and if the MMU is blocked, the rest of the GPU should be blocked too, so no risk of accessing physical memory returned to the system (which the current code doesn't cover for anyway). Proceed with the rest of the cleanup instead of bailing out and leaving the va_node inserted in the drm_mm, which leads to UAF when other adjacent nodes are removed from the drm_mm tree.
