- Summary
- A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel Intel i915 graphics driver's GuC virtual engine request handling. A local user with access to GPU rendering can create requests on GuC virtual engines and trap references via sync_file or dmabuf, causing fence release operations to access freed engine structures when validating whether rq->engine points to a valid hardware engine, which results in memory corruption and potential privilege escalation or denial of service.
- Remediation
- For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes described in this advisory, refer to: https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258 The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect.
