CVE-2024-49570

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions prior to 6.10

Description A potential use-after-free (UAF) issue has been identified in the Linux kernel, specifically in the drm/xe/tracing component. The issue arises from the TP printk function and the xe mem type to name[] array. This problem was exposed by a commit aimed at checking dereferences via the field and not the TP printk format. The estimated number of potentially affected devices and details about real-world incidents are not provided.

Recommendations For Linux kernel versions prior to 6.10, explicit backporting of the fix may be needed to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of the xe bo move trace event until a patch is available.
