CVE-2024-44978

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description The issue is related to the use of memory after it has been freed, specifically in the drm/xe component of the Linux kernel. This can lead to a denial of service. The problem arises because the xe exec queue put function can destroy the VM while the job is still being freed, which depends on the job's vm being valid. To prevent this, the job is freed before xe exec queue put is called.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
