Kernel memory access via Radeon object use-after-free
Published Jul 29, 2024 · Updated Aug 5, 2026
A use-after-free in the Radeon DRM component of Linux allows local users with render-node access to crash the kernel or access kernel memory. In drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon_gem.c, radeon_vm_clear_freed can clear bo_va->bo before radeon_gem_va_ioctl dereferences the pointer. A low-privileged process can race GEM_VA MAP against GEM_CLOSE, causing an oops or attacker-directed GPU memory access.
