Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: Fix use-after-free on amdgpu_bo_list mutex If amdgpu_cs_vm_handling returns r != 0, then it will unlock the bo_list_mutex inside the function amdgpu_cs_vm_handling and again on amdgpu_cs_parser_fini. This problem results in the following use-after-free problem: [ 220.280990] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 220.281000] refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

How this class of weakness works · CWE-416

Memory is used after it has been freed, so its contents — now potentially attacker-controlled — drive the program's behaviour. With careful heap grooming this becomes code execution. The fix requires disciplined ownership of memory and often a targeted rework of the object lifecycle.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 5.19.4 or later
Fixed in 5.19.4
Vendor patch git.kernel.org →
Recommended fix High confidence

Linux Kernel 5.19.4 or later, or 6.0.1 or later (or any later stable release such as 6.1.x, 6.2.x, etc.)

  1. Identify the current running kernel version using `uname -r`
  2. Check if the system is running an affected version: 5.19, 5.19.1-5.19.3, or 6.0
  3. Update the system package repository metadata
  4. Install a kernel version >= 5.19.4 or >= 6.0.1 (e.g., `apt-get update && apt-get install linux-image-<version>` for Debian/Ubuntu, or `yum update kernel` for RHEL/CentOS)
  5. Reboot the system to load the new kernel: `systemctl reboot`
  6. Verify the new kernel version is running: `uname -r`
  7. Confirm the amdgpu driver loads without errors: `dmesg | grep -i amdgpu`
Caveat Kernel upgrades may require driver recompilation for out-of-tree modules; ensure amdgpu drivers are compatible with the target kernel version before upgrading
