CVE-2024-49989

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

Description The issue is related to a double free problem in the Linux kernel's amdgpu module. Specifically, the link destruct() function in the drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc/link/link factory.c file is vulnerable to repeated freeing of previously freed memory. This could potentially allow an attacker to impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. The vulnerability occurs when unloading the amdgpu module, and it involves the dcn10 link encoder destroy() and link destroy() functions.

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