Description
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdkfd: fix list_del corruption in kfd_criu_resume_svm
The cleanup tail of kfd_criu_resume_svm() walks
svms->criu_svm_metadata_list and kfree()s each struct criu_svm_metadata
without removing it from the list. The list head is left pointing at
freed kmalloc-96 objects.
A second AMDKFD_IOC_CRIU_OP from the same process re-enters: list_empty()
reads the dangling ->next (use-after-free), the loop walks freed entries,
and each is kfree()'d again (double-free). This is reachable by an
unprivileged render-group user via /dev/kfd with no capabilities required.
Add list_del() before the kfree() so the list is properly emptied. The
list_for_each_entry_safe() iterator already caches the next pointer, so
unlinking during the walk is safe.
(cherry picked from commit 6322d278a298e2c1430b9d2697743d3a04b788b1)
