AMD Xilinx Runtime Use-After-Free Vulnerability Allowing Confidentiality and Availability Loss

A use-after-free vulnerability has been identified in the AMD Xilinx Runtime (XRT) drivers, specifically within the user space XRT driver (XOCL). This vulnerability arises from inadequate lock protection, which may enable a local attacker to exploit the condition, potentially leading to a loss of confidentiality or availability.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability can cause a use-after-free condition, allowing for memory management issues that could be exploited to manipulate program execution or cause a crash.

Remediation

Users are advised to update the XRT drivers to version 2025.1 or later.
