CVE-2021-47410·Kernel vulnerability

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdkfd: fix svm_migrate_fini warning Device manager releases device-specific resources when a driver disconnects from a device, devm_memunmap_pages and devm_release_mem_region calls in svm_migrate_fini are redundant. It causes below warning trace after patch "drm/amdgpu: Split amdgpu_device_fini into early and late", so remove function svm_migrate_fini.

How to fix this CVE

Update your Linux kernel to version 5.14.11 or later to resolve this device resource management issue in the AMD KFD driver. This patch eliminates redundant memory unmapping operations that were triggered during driver disconnect, preventing kernel warnings and potential stability issues. Systems running kernel versions 3.19 through 5.14.10 should prioritize this update, particularly if using AMD GPUs with KFD support.

sudo dnf update kernel kernel-devel

Defensia detects this vulnerability

How to check if you are affected

  1. Step 1: Check your current kernel version by running `uname -r` and verify if it is earlier than 5.14.11
  2. Step 2: Confirm AMD KFD driver is in use by checking if the amdkfd module is loaded with `lsmod | grep amdkfd`
  3. Step 3: Search system logs for the warning signature with `sudo dmesg | grep -i 'devm_release_action' && sudo grep -r 'svm_migrate_fini' /var/log/`
  4. Step 4: After updating the kernel, reboot and verify the new version with `uname -r`, then confirm the warning is absent in `dmesg` output

FAQ

What is CVE-2021-47410?

CVE-2021-47410 is a kernel vulnerability in AMD KFD's SVM migration logic where redundant resource deallocation calls trigger kernel warnings during driver disconnection. This occurs because the device manager already handles resource cleanup, making explicit calls in svm_migrate_fini unnecessary.

Is CVE-2021-47410 being actively exploited?

No, this vulnerability is not being actively exploited and has not been added to the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. No public exploits are available.

What versions of Kernel are affected by CVE-2021-47410?

Linux kernel versions 3.19 through 5.14.10 are affected. The vulnerability was resolved in kernel version 5.14.11 and later.

How do I check if my server is vulnerable to CVE-2021-47410?

Run `uname -r` to see your kernel version. If the output shows a version earlier than 5.14.11 and `lsmod | grep amdkfd` returns results, your system is vulnerable.

Does Defensia detect CVE-2021-47410?

Yes — Defensia's CVE advisory scanner compares installed package versions against the NVD database. If the Linux kernel is installed on a monitored server, CVE-2021-47410 will appear in your dashboard with remediation steps.

CVE-2026-100075CVSS 9.8In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/srpt: Fix srpt_alloc_rw_ctxs() unwind counters When srpt_alloc_rw_ctxs() fails partway through a multi-buffer indirect descriptor, the unwind path destroys RDMA contexts but leaves stale n_rw_ctx and n_rdma values (and a dangling rw_ctxs pointer). Later sq_wr_avail accounting in srpt_queue_response() or srpt_write_pending() can then subtract the wrong number of send queue credits. Reset the counters and clear rw_ctxs after freeing the heap allocation before returning an error.
CVE-2026-64397CVSS 9.8In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ksmbd: serialize QUERY_DIRECTORY requests per file smb2_query_dir() stores a pointer to its stack-allocated private data in the ksmbd_file readdir_data. Concurrent QUERY_DIRECTORY requests using the same file handle can overwrite this pointer while an iterate_dir() callback is still using it, resulting in a stack use-after-free. Add a per-file mutex and hold it while accessing the shared directory enumeration state. The lock covers scan restart, dot entry state, readdir_data setup and iteration, and response construction. This prevents another request from replacing readdir_data.private before the current request has finished using it and also serializes the shared file position.
CVE-2026-64399CVSS 9.8In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ksmbd: add permission checks for FSCTL_DUPLICATE_EXTENTS_TO_FILE The FSCTL_DUPLICATE_EXTENTS_TO_FILE arm of smb2_ioctl() overwrites the destination file's data via vfs_clone_file_range() with neither the share-level KSMBD_TREE_CONN_FLAG_WRITABLE check nor a per-handle fp->daccess check that the other write-bearing arms carry. A client can overwrite destination data on a read-only share, or from a handle opened with only FILE_WRITE_ATTRIBUTES (which still yields an FMODE_WRITE filp). FILE_WRITE_ATTRIBUTES-only destination handle overwrote the file's data via the clone. Add both checks, matching the FSCTL_SET_SPARSE permission fix; require FILE_WRITE_DATA since this writes data.
CVE-2026-64066CVSS 9.8In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfs: Fix netfs_read_to_pagecache() to pause on subreq failure Fix netfs_read_to_pagecache() so that it pauses the generation of new subrequests if an already-issued subrequest fails.
CVE-2026-52924CVSS 9.8In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sctp: purge outqueue on stale COOKIE-ECHO handling sctp_stream_update() is only invoked when the association is moved into COOKIE_WAIT during association setup/reconfiguration. In this path, the outbound stream scheduler state (stream->out_curr) is expected to be clean, since no user data should have been transmitted yet unless the state machine has already partially progressed. However, a corner case exists in sctp_sf_do_5_2_6_stale(): when a Stale Cookie ERROR is received, the association is rolled back from COOKIE_ECHOED to COOKIE_WAIT. In this scenario, user data may already have been queued and even bundled with the COOKIE-ECHO chunk. During the rollback, sctp_stream_update() frees the old stream table and installs a new one, but it does not invalidate stream->out_curr. As a result, out_curr may still point to a freed sctp_stream_out entry from the previous stream state. Later, SCTP scheduler dequeue paths (FCFS, RR, PRIO, etc.) rely on stream->out_curr->ext, which can lead to use-after-free once the old stream state has been released via sctp_stream_free(). This results in crashes such as (reported by Yuqi): BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in sctp_sched_fcfs_dequeue+0x13a/0x140 Read of size 8 at addr ff1100004d4d3208 by task mini_poc/9312 CPU: 1 UID: 1001 PID: 9312 Comm: mini_poc Not tainted 7.1.0-rc1-00305-gbd3a4795d574 #5 PREEMPT(full) sctp_sched_fcfs_dequeue+0x13a/0x140 sctp_outq_flush+0x1603/0x33e0 sctp_do_sm+0x31c9/0x5d30 sctp_assoc_bh_rcv+0x392/0x6f0 sctp_inq_push+0x1db/0x270 sctp_rcv+0x138d/0x3c10 Fix this by fully purging the association outqueue when handling the Stale Cookie case. This ensures all pending transmit and retransmit state is dropped, and any scheduler cached pointers are invalidated, making it safe to rebuild stream state during COOKIE_WAIT restart. Updating only stream->out_curr would be insufficient, since queued and retransmittable data would still reference the old stream state and trigger later use-after-free in dequeue paths.
