CVE-2025-38603
AMDGPU Slab-Use-After-Free Vulnerability
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: fix slab-use-after-free in amdgpu_userq_mgr_fini+0x70c The issue was reproduced on NV10 using IGT pci_unplug test. It is expected that `amdgpu_driver_postclose_kms()` is called prior to `amdgpu_drm_release()`. However, the bug is that `amdgpu_fpriv` was freed in `amdgpu_driver_postclose_kms()`, and then later accessed in `amdgpu_drm_release()` via a call to `amdgpu_userq_mgr_fini()`. As a result, KASAN detected a use-after-free condition, as shown in the log below. The proposed fix is to move the calls to `amdgpu_eviction_fence_destroy()` and `amdgpu_userq_mgr_fini()` into `amdgpu_driver_postclose_kms()`, so they are invoked before `amdgpu_fpriv` is freed. This also ensures symmetry with the initialization path in `amdgpu_driver_open_kms()`, where the following components are initialized: - `amdgpu_userq_mgr_init()` - `amdgpu_eviction_fence_init()` - `amdgpu_ctx_mgr_init()` Correspondingly, in `amdgpu_driver_postclose_kms()` we should clean up using: - `amdgpu_userq_mgr_fini()` - `amdgpu_eviction_fence_destroy()` - `amdgpu_ctx_mgr_fini()` This change eliminates the use-after-free and improves consistency in resource management between open and close paths.
