Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel, specifically within the amdxdna graphics driver. This vulnerability is a use-after-free error, where a memory object is incorrectly freed twice when certain memory allocation operations fail. This leads to memory corruption. A local attacker could potentially exploit this flaw to cause a system crash (denial of service) or gain elevated privileges.

Statement

This vulnerability is rated as Moderate impact because exploitation is restricted to local users and depends on the presence of specialized AMD XDNA neural processing hardware. Red Hat Enterprise Linux is not affected by this issue as the amdxdna driver is not enabled or present in supported kernels. Consequently, standard enterprise deployments do not expose this accelerator interface, preventing local denial of service or privilege escalation attempts.
