Summary

The amdgpu driver in the Linux kernel is affected in the version ranges the sources list, starting from 5.9. In amdgpu_debugfs_gpr_read(), the runtime PM reference is dropped once after reading the wave registers and again on the error path when copying them to userspace fails. A user who reads the GPR debugfs file with a bad buffer can cause a runtime PM usage count underflow or steal a reference held by someone else.

Description from the CNA

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: don't drop the runtime PM reference twice in amdgpu_gpr amdgpu_debugfs_gpr_read() drops its runtime PM reference right after reading the wave registers. When copying them to userspace fails, it jumps to the err label, which drops the reference a second time. A read into a bad buffer on Navi31 either steals a reference somebody else holds (power/runtime_usage goes from 1 to 0) or underflows the count: amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: Runtime PM usage count underflow! The registers are already in the kernel buffer at that point, so finish the hardware access first and copy the buffer with a single copy_to_user() instead of the put_user() loop with its own error path. (cherry picked from commit 31035bbd74f7c3e10c163db875b8e67f8b50ee6a)
