Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Use After Free in the amdgpu_vm_get_task_info and amdgpu_vm_put_task_info functions. An attacker can gain access to sensitive kernel memory and potentially execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service by exploiting a use-after-free condition through carefully timed job submissions and file descriptor closures on the amdgpu device node.
Note: The Linux kernel project assigns a CVE to every bug fix it ships, whether or not the bug has been shown to be exploitable. This advisory was generated from that process and has not been individually assessed for exploitability. See the kernel's CVE process documentation: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/process/cve.rst
