Description

drm/v3d: Stop the active perfmon before being destroyed

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/v3d: Stop the active perfmon before being destroyed

When running kmscube with one or more performance monitors enabled

via GALLIUM_HUD, the following kernel panic can occur:

[ 55.020411] note: v3d_bin[166] exited with preempt_count 1

This issue arises because, upon closing the file descriptor (which happens

when we interrupt kmscube), the active performance monitor is not

stopped. Although all perfmons are destroyed in v3d_perfmon_close_file(),

the active performance monitor's pointer (v3d->active_perfmon) is still

retained.

If kmscube is run again, the driver will attempt to stop the active

performance monitor using the stale pointer in v3d->active_perfmon.

However, this pointer is no longer valid because the previous process has

already terminated, and all performance monitors associated with it have

been destroyed and freed.

To fix this, when the active performance monitor belongs to a given

process, explicitly stop it before destroying and freeing it.

How this vulnerability can be exploited

This issue can be reached with local access to the system, attack complexity is low, an attacker needs low-level privileges on the target. No user interaction is required. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality high, integrity high, availability high.

CVSS metrics in full

The score comes from this vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

  • Attack vector: Local — a local account, shell or session on the host is needed.
  • Attack complexity: Low — the attack works reliably, with no preparation.
  • Privileges required: Low — an ordinary user account is enough.
  • User interaction: None — nobody has to be tricked into anything.
  • Scope: Unchanged — the damage stays inside the vulnerable component.
  • Confidentiality impact: High — total loss, or loss the attacker controls.
  • Integrity impact: High — total loss, or loss the attacker controls.
  • Availability impact: High — total loss, or loss the attacker controls.
