CVE-2022-49133 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on February 26, 2025 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5 (MEDIUM).
This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5, rated MEDIUM. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.
Technical Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdkfd: svm range restore work deadlock when process exit
kfd_process_notifier_release flush svm_range_restore_work
which calls svm_range_list_lock_and_flush_work to flush deferred_list
work, but if deferred_list work mmput release the last user, it will
call exit_mmap -> notifier_release, it is deadlock with below backtrace.
Move flush svm_range_restore_work to kfd_process_wq_release to avoid
deadlock. Then svm_range_restore_work take task->mm ref to avoid mm is
gone while validating and mapping ranges to GPU.
