Overview

CVE-2024-46867 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on September 27, 2024 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/xe/client: fix deadlock in show_meminfo()

There is a real deadlock as well as sleeping in atomic() bug in here, if

the bo put happens to be the last ref, since bo destruction wants to

grab the same spinlock and sleeping locks. Fix that by dropping the ref

using xe_bo_put_deferred(), and moving the final commit outside of the

lock. Dropping the lock around the put is tricky since the bo can go

out of scope and delete itself from the list, making it difficult to

navigate to the next list entry.

(cherry picked from commit 0083b8e6f11d7662283a267d4ce7c966812ffd8a)

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from linux. Update linux_kernel to the latest patched version.
