Subject: CVE-2026-72093: accel/amdxdna: Fix use-after-free in amdxdna_gem_dmabuf_mmap()
Date: Sat, 15 Aug 2026 15:02:52 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2026081523-CVE-2026-72093-a1ce@gregkh> (raw)
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@kernel.org>
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
accel/amdxdna: Fix use-after-free in amdxdna_gem_dmabuf_mmap()
When vm_insert_pages() fails, the error path calls vma->vm_ops->close(vma)
which internally calls drm_gem_vm_close() → drm_gem_object_put(),
releasing the GEM object reference acquired at the start of the function.
However, the close_vma label then falls through to put_obj, which calls
drm_gem_object_put() a second time on the same object.
If the first put releases the last reference, the object is freed and the
second put accesses freed memory, causing a use-after-free.
Fix by returning directly from close_vma instead of falling through to
put_obj, since the close handler already performs all necessary cleanup
including the object put.
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-72093 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
