CVE-2022-49530

Technical Description

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

drm/amd/pm: fix double free in si_parse_power_table()

In function si_parse_power_table(), array adev->pm.dpm.ps and its member

is allocated. If the allocation of each member fails, the array itself

is freed and returned with an error code. However, the array is later

freed again in si_dpm_fini() function which is called when the function

returns an error.

This leads to potential double free of the array adev->pm.dpm.ps, as

well as leak of its array members, since the members are not freed in

the allocation function and the array is not nulled when freed.

In addition adev->pm.dpm.num_ps, which keeps track of the allocated

array member, is not updated until the member allocation is

successfully finished, this could also lead to either use after free,

or uninitialized variable access in si_dpm_fini().

Fix this by postponing the free of the array until si_dpm_fini() and

increment adev->pm.dpm.num_ps everytime the array

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from linux. Update linux_kernel to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
