CVE-2025-68170 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/radeon: Do not kfree() devres managed rdev Since the allocation of the drivers main structure was changed to devm_drm_dev_alloc() rdev is managed by devres and we shouldn't be calling kfree() on it. This fixes things exploding if the driver probe fails and devres cleans up the rdev after we already free'd it. (cherry picked from commit 16c0681617b8a045773d4d87b6140002fa75b03b)
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's Radeon Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) driver can lead to a double free error. This issue arises because the driver's main structure is now managed by the device management system, and improperly freeing it can cause problems if the driver probe fails. The vulnerability affects several versions of the Linux kernel.
Users can upgrade to the latest version of the Linux kernel, where this vulnerability has been addressed.
