Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: accel/amdxdna: Prevent PM resume deadlock in hwctx_sync_debug_bo() amdxdna_hwctx_sync_debug_bo() invokes the hardware hwctx_sync_debug_bo() callback while holding xdna->dev_lock. The callback may call amdxdna_cmd_submit(), which in turn calls amdxdna_pm_resume_get().
If the device is suspended, amdxdna_pm_resume_get() may synchronously execute amdxdna_pm_resume(), which also acquires xdna->dev_lock, resulting in a deadlock.
Avoid the deadlock by calling amdxdna_pm_resume_get() before holding xdna->dev_lock in both amdxdna_hwctx_sync_debug_bo() and amdxdna_drm_config_hwctx_ioctl() A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's AMD XDNA accelerator driver. A local attacker could trigger a deadlock condition during power management resume operations.
This occurs when a hardware context synchronization function attempts to acquire a lock that is already held, leading to a system freeze. This vulnerability could result in a Denial of Service (DoS) for the affected system.
Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 5.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H). Weakness: CWE-833.
Red Hat lists Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 as not affected.
