🛡️ CVE-2024-44982 on Ubuntu — linux
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/msm/dpu: cleanup FB if dpu_format_populate_layout fails If the dpu_format_populate_layout() fails, then FB is prepared, but not cleaned up. This ends up leaking the pin_count on the GEM object and causes a splat during DRM file closure: msm_obj->pin_count WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 569 at drivers/gpu/drm/msm/msm_gem.c:121 update_lru_locked+0xc4/0xcc [...] Call trace: update_lru_locked+0xc4/0xcc put_pages+0xac/0x100 msm_gem_free_object+0x138/0x180 drm_gem_object_free+0x1c/0x30 drm_gem_object_handle_put_unlocked+0x108/0x10c drm_gem_object_release_handle+0x58/0x70 idr_for_each+0x68/0xec drm_gem_release+0x28/0x40 drm_file_free+0x174/0x234 drm_release+0xb0/0x160 __fput+0xc0/0x2c8 __fput_sync+0x50/0x5c __arm64_sys_close+0x38/0x7c invoke_syscall+0x48/0x118 el0_svc_common.constprop.0+0x40/0xe0 do_el0_svc+0x1c/0x28 el0_svc+0x4c/0x120 el0t_64_sync_handler+0x100/0x12c el0t_64_sync+0x190/0x194 irq event stamp: 129818 hardirqs last enabled at (129817): [<ffffa5f6d953fcc0>] console_unlock+0x118/0x124 hardirqs last disabled at (129818): [<ffffa5f6da7dcf04>] el1_dbg+0x24/0x8c softirqs last enabled at (129808): [<ffffa5f6d94afc18>] handle_softirqs+0x4c8/0x4e8 softirqs last disabled at (129785): [<ffffa5f6d94105e4>] __do_softirq+0x14/0x20 Patchwork: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/600714/
Distribution advisory
This page covers CVE-2024-44982 as tracked by Ubuntu, for the package linux. The fix is available in version 6.8.0-50.51; earlier versions remain affected.
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 none, integrity none, 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:N/I:N/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: None.
- Integrity impact: None.
- Availability impact: High — total loss, or loss the attacker controls.
