From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]> Description =========== In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdkfd: hold event_mutex while checkpointing CRIU events kfd_criu_checkpoint_events() counts the entries in p->event_idr via kfd_get_num_events(), allocates an array sized to that count, and then walks the same IDR to fill it. Neither the count nor the walk holds p->event_mutex. The CRIU checkpoint caller holds only p->mutex. Event create and destroy (kfd_event_create()/kfd_event_destroy()) take p->event_mutex and do not take p->mutex, so a second thread in the same process can insert or remove events between the count and the walk. If an event is inserted, the walk iterates more entries than were counted and writes past the end of the ev_privs allocation; if an event is removed, the walk dereferences an entry that is being freed. Hold p->event_mutex across the count and the walk so both observe a consistent view of p->event_idr. The lock is released before copy_to_user(), which only touches the local buffer. The caller already holds p->mutex and the create/destroy paths never take p->mutex, so the p->mutex -> p->event_mutex order is not inverted and no deadlock is introduced. (cherry picked from commit ff57e223ab105795b05d3ef3f3c35a5a441bcbaa) The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-74446 to this issue.

Unaffected versions might change over time as fixes are backported to older supported kernel versions. The official CVE entry at https://cve.org/CVERecord/?id=CVE-2026-74446 will be updated if fixes are backported, please check that for the most up to date information about this issue. Affected files ============== The file(s) affected by this issue are: drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdkfd/kfd_events.c Mitigation ========== The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this issue can be found at these commits: https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2040b7e39027cb83bb8c7b84a4c95c2f6053c32f https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9a7f765985f64fd4a7a58f7bc9cd80a1f4230628 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6a52f48157fa7fb81e0c146937fd6c8b0c1cfdbd https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bed80be08c0bee47fa242a4256ac873477c815f8 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ff8bc5a68a9a70bdc38d61a72c7a49c56063f9d2
