Description
A flaw was found in the drm/amdgpu component of the Linux kernel. This vulnerability arises from improper memory handling where the pm_genpd_remove() function is not invoked before freeing acp_genpd memory. A local attacker could exploit this flaw, potentially leading to memory corruption, which may result in a denial of service or privilege escalation.
Statement
This issue affects AMDGPU systems with ACP power domains. acp_genpd memory is freed without calling pm_genpd_remove(), leaving stale genpd entries. Systems without AMD GPUs are not affected.
