Descriptions

Use After Free vulnerability in Arm Ltd Bifrost GPU Kernel Driver, Arm Ltd Valhall GPU Kernel Driver allows a local non-privileged user to make improper memory processing operations to exploit a software race condition. If the system’s memory is carefully prepared by the user, then this in turn cause a use-after-free.This issue affects Bifrost GPU Kernel Driver: from r35p0 through r40p0; Valhall GPU Kernel Driver: from r35p0 through r40p0.

Vulnerabilidad de Use After Free en Arm Ltd Bifrost GPU Kernel Driver, Arm Ltd Valhall GPU Kernel Driver permite a un usuario local sin privilegios realizar operaciones de procesamiento de memoria inadecuadas para explotar una condición de ejecución del software. Si el usuario prepara cuidadosamente la memoria del sistema, esto a su vez provocará un use-after-free. Este problema afecta al controlador del kernel de GPU Bifrost: de r35p0 a r40p0; Controlador del kernel de GPU Valhall: desde r35p0 hasta r40p0.
