Description

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

accel/amdxdna: Hold mm structure across iommu_sva_unbind_device()

Some tests trigger a crash in iommu_sva_unbind_device() due to
accessing iommu_mm after the associated mm structure has been
freed.

Fix this by taking an explicit reference to the mm structure
after successfully binding the device, and releasing it only
after the device is unbound. This ensures the mm remains valid
for the entire SVA bind/unbind lifetime.

CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/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:L)
Once they can reach the bug, pulling it off is straightforward—no weird race conditions or rare setup.
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:H)
Serious risk that confidential data gets exposed in a big way.
Integrity (I:H)
They could widely tamper with or forge data—trust in the data is badly hurt.
Availability (A:H)
Could take the service down hard or make it unusable for people who depend on it.
