CVE-2025-68735
- Published: 2025-12-24T13:16:28.440
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/panthor: Prevent potential UAF in group creation
This commit prevents the possibility of a use after free issue in the
GROUP_CREATE ioctl function, which arose as pointer to the group is
accessed in that ioctl function after storing it in the Xarray.
A malicious userspace can second guess the handle of a group and try
to call GROUP_DESTROY ioctl from another thread around the same time
as GROUP_CREATE ioctl.
To prevent the use after free exploit, this commit uses a mark on an
entry of group pool Xarray which is added just before returning from
the GROUP_CREATE ioctl function. The mark is checked for all ioctls
that specify the group handle and so userspace won’t be abe to delete
a group that isn’t marked yet.
