Subject: [PATCH] drm/panthor: Fix TOCTOU race between GROUP_REGISTERED check and erase
Date: Wed, 7 Oct 2026 20:12:19 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261007181220.2418060-1-osama.abdelkader@gmail.com> (raw)
panthor_group_destroy() checks the GROUP_REGISTERED mark and then calls
xa_erase() without holding the xarray lock across both. If the handle is
destroyed by another thread in between, and a concurrent GROUP_CREATE
reuses the freed ID, the first destroy erases and releases the new,
still-initializing group, leading to a use-after-free in
panthor_group_create().
Do the mark check and erase atomically under xa_lock().
Fixes: eec7e23d848d ("drm/panthor: Prevent potential UAF in group creation")
