Subject: [PATCH] accel/rocket: fix UAF via dangling GEM handle in create_bo
Date: Thu, 21 May 2026 18:57:18 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260521165720.2113571-1-tomeu@tomeuvizoso.net> (raw)
From: Dhabaleshwar Das <dhabal123@gmail.com>
rocket_ioctl_create_bo() inserts a GEM handle into the file's IDR via
drm_gem_handle_create() early on, then performs several operations that
can fail (sgt allocation, drm_mm insert, iommu_map). If any fail after
the handle is live, the error path calls drm_gem_shmem_object_free()
which kfree's the object without removing the handle from the IDR.
This leaves a dangling handle pointing to freed slab memory. Any
subsequent ioctl using that handle (PREP_BO, FINI_BO, SUBMIT) calls
drm_gem_object_lookup() and dereferences freed memory (UAF).
Fix by moving drm_gem_handle_create() to after all fallible operations
succeed, matching the pattern used by panfrost, lima, and etnaviv.
Also fix drm_mm_insert_node_generic() whose return value was silently
overwritten by iommu_map_sgtable() on the next line. Add the missing
error check.
[tomeu: Move handle creation to the very end]
Fixes: 658ebeac3351 ("accel/rocket: Add IOCTL for BO creation")
