"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ndrm/nouveau: RCU-free the scheduler-containing nouveau_sched\n\nstruct nouveau_sched embeds a struct drm_gpu_scheduler (base).\nnouveau_sched_destroy() calls nouveau_sched_fini() (which does\ndrm_sched_fini(&sched->base)) and then frees the object with plain\nkfree(sched).\n\ndrm_sched_fence_get_timeline_name() returns fence->sched->name, and the\nscheduler fence keeps a .release callback so it is not ops-detached on\nsignalling. A finished fence exported to userspace via drm_syncobj /\nsync_file therefore keeps pointing at &sched->base after nouveau_sched_destroy(),\nand a later get_timeline_name() -- reachable unprivileged through\nSYNC_IOC_FILE_INFO -- dereferences freed memory (KASAN slab-use-after-free\nread).\n\nPer the dma-fence lifetime contract the exporter must keep the data backing a\nsignalled fence alive for an RCU grace period. Free the scheduler-containing\nobject with kfree_rcu() instead of kfree()."

"value": "AV:L - A local process reaches the patched nouveau_sched_destroy() through DRM-fd close or DRM_IOCTL_NOUVEAU_CHANNEL_FREE, then triggers the dangling scheduler access through SYNC_IOC_FILE_INFO → sync_fill_fence_info() → drm_sched_fence_get_timeline_name(); no network path exists.\nAC:L - The attacker controls fence creation, export, scheduler teardown, and querying; affected branches permit a post-teardown query, and where concurrent timing is needed the attacker can gate its job on a syncobj and repeatedly race its completion and close against SYNC_IOC_FILE_INFO.\nPR:L - NOUVEAU_VM_INIT, VM_BIND, EXEC, CHANNEL_FREE, and the core syncobj ioctls are DRM_RENDER_ALLOW, while drm_ioctl_permit() imposes no DRM_MASTER, DRM_ROOT_ONLY, or capability check; ordinary render-node access suffices.\nUI:N - The attacker independently creates and exports the scheduler fence, closes the channel or DRM file to invoke nouveau_sched_destroy(), and queries the retained sync-file without any victim action.\nS:U - The freed nouveau_sched and the resulting disclosure or crash are within the same host-kernel security authority; the path does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or hypervisor boundary.\nC:H - drm_sched_fence_get_timeline_name() treats reclaimed nouveau_sched bytes as the name pointer; after heap reuse, sync_fill_fence_info() copies up to 31 bytes from that attacker-influenced address into user-visible obj_name, and repeated objects support arbitrary kernel-memory disclosure.\nI:N - The stale value is used only as the source pointer for strscpy() into a correctly sized, newly allocated sync_fence_info buffer; this path never writes through fence->sched or the attacker-influenced pointer, so it provides no demonstrated modification primitive.\nA:H - If reclaimed sched->name contains an invalid address, strscpy() in sync_fill_fence_info() can cause a kernel page fault and oops or panic; KASAN directly detects the slab use-after-free, and the local sequence is repeatable."
