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/nouveau: fix stale locked mutex in nouveau_gem_ioctl_pushbuf

If VM_BIND is enabled on the client the legacy submission ioctl can't be

used, however if a client tries to do so regardless it will return an

error. In this case the clients mutex remained unlocked leading to a

deadlock inside nouveau_drm_postclose or any other nouveau ioctl call.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. 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.
