Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/amdgpu: fix AMDGPU_INFO_READ_MMR_REG

There were multiple issues in that code.

First of all the order between the reset semaphore and the mm_lock was
wrong (e.g. copy_to_user) was called while holding the lock.

Then we allocated memory while holding the reset semaphore which is also
a pretty big bug and can deadlock.

Then we used down_read_trylock() instead of waiting for the reset to
finish.

(cherry picked from commit 361b6e6b303d4b691f6c5974d3eaab67ca6dd90e)

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
