Description
A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the AMD TEE driver in the Linux kernel. The flaw occurs from a race condition in the amdtee_open_session() function, where the session is marked as active in sess->sess_mask before the corresponding sess structure is fully initialized. If a parallel thread invokes amdtee_close_session() during this window of time, it can lead to the structure being freed prematurely. This can lead to system instability, a denial of service, or remote code execution.
