CVE-2023-54254: drm/ttm: Don't leak a resource on eviction error

HighCVSS 7.8 · v3.1—No exploit Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 31/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.15% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Linux Linux 5.15, 6aea0032380bbb1efebd598ad733d16925167921, 7738335d73d0686ec8995e0448e5d1b48cffb2a4.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 5.15, 6aea0032380bbb1efebd598ad733d16925167921, 7738335d73d0686ec8995e0448e5d1b48cffb2a4 or later.
