CVE-2023-53047 | tee: amdtee: fix race condition in amdtee_open_session

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tee: amdtee: fix race condition in amdtee_open_session There is a potential race condition in amdtee_open_session that may lead to use-after-free. For instance, in amdtee_open_session() after sess->sess_mask is set, and before setting: sess->session_info[i] = session_info; if amdtee_close_session() closes this same session, then 'sess' data structure will be released, causing kernel panic when 'sess' is accessed within amdtee_open_session(). The solution is to set the bit sess->sess_mask as the last step in amdtee_open_session().

Base score Version Severity Vector Exploitability Impact Score source
4.7 3.1 MEDIUM
CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H Click to expand
Attack vector (AV:L)
They already need access on the box, or another person has to do something wrong; it’s not a remote drive-by.
Attack complexity (AC:H)
Even with access, the exploit needs extra luck, timing, or a fussy environment to actually work.
Privileges required (PR:L)
A normal user session is enough; they don’t have to be admin.
User interaction (UI:N)
Nobody has to click “OK” or open a trap file; it can work without a victim helping.
Scope (S:U)
Damage stays in the same “trust bubble” as the broken component—no big spill into unrelated systems.
Confidentiality (C:N)
Doesn’t really leak secrets in a meaningful way.
Integrity (I:N)
Data isn’t meaningfully altered or forged.
Availability (A:H)
Could take the service down hard or make it unusable for people who depend on it.
