Description

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

drm/xe/guc_submit: add missing locking in wedged_fini

Any non-wedged queue can have a zero refcount here and can be running
concurrently with an async queue destroy, therefore dereferencing the
queue ptr to check wedge status after the lookup can trigger UAF if
queue is not wedged. Fix this by keeping the submission_state lock held
around the check to postpone the free and make the check safe, before
dropping again around the put() to avoid the deadlock.

(cherry picked from commit d28af0b6b9580b9f90c265a7da0315b0ad20bbfd)

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
