In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu/userq: Fix fence reference leak on queue teardown v2
The user mode queue keeps a pointer to the most recent fence in
userq->last_fence. This pointer holds an extra dma_fence reference.
When the queue is destroyed, we free the fence driver and its xarray,
but we forgot to drop the last_fence reference.
Because of the missing dma_fence_put(), the last fence object can stay
alive when the driver unloads. This leaves an allocated object in the
amdgpu_userq_fence slab cache and triggers
This is visible during driver unload as:
BUG amdgpu_userq_fence: Objects remaining on __kmem_cache_shutdown()
kmem_cache_destroy amdgpu_userq_fence: Slab cache still has objects
Call Trace:
kmem_cache_destroy
amdgpu_userq_fence_slab_fini
amdgpu_exit
__do_sys_delete_module
Fix this by putting userq->last_fence and clearing the pointer during
amdgpu_userq_fence_driver_free().
This makes sure the fence reference is released and the slab cache is
empty when the module exits.
v2: Update to only release userq->last_fence with dma_fence_put()

BOD 26-04 (CISA's remediation timeline, Table 1)14 days if the affected system is publicly exposed; Fix on system upgrade if it is not.
The score's inputs: In CISA KEV no (CISA's KEV catalog) · Automatable no (CISA's BOD 26-04 default) · Technical impact total (CISA's BOD 26-04 default). Where an input reads “CISA's BOD 26-04 default”, no one has published it for this CVE, and CISA's implementation guidance says: “If “Automatable” and “Technical Impact” information items about a CVE ID are not available and the CVE ID is not in the KEV Catalog, CISA will treat its values as “no” and “total,” respectively, until CISA or a third party provides metadata about the CVE ID. CISA will always provide the Vulnrichment data for a CVE ID listed in the KEV Catalog.” Whether your system is publicly exposed is yours to answer. BOD 26-04 binds US Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies; for anyone else it is CISA's published timeline, a reference rather than an obligation. The directive · how EchelonGraph applies it
