Jul 30 RESCORED — CVE-2025-37765 (Linux). CVSS 7.8 → 5.5 (NVD).
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/nouveau: prime: fix ttm_bo_delayed_delete oops
Fix an oops in ttm_bo_delayed_delete which results from dererencing a
dangling pointer:

The cause of this is:
- drm_prime_gem_destroy calls dma_buf_put(dma_buf) which releases the
reference to the shared dma_buf. The reference count is 0, so the
dma_buf is destroyed, which in turn decrements the corresponding
amdgpu_bo reference count to 0, and the amdgpu_bo is destroyed -
calling drm_gem_object_release then dma_resv_fini (which destroys the
reservation object), then finally freeing the amdgpu_bo.
- nouveau_bo obj->bo.base.resv is now a dangling pointer to the memory
formerly allocated to the amdgpu_bo.
- nouveau_gem_object_del calls ttm_bo_put(&nvbo->bo) which calls
ttm_bo_release, which schedules ttm_bo_delayed_delete.
- ttm_bo_delayed_delete runs and dereferences the dangling resv pointer,
resulting in a general protection fault.
Fix this by moving the drm_prime_gem_destroy call from
nouveau_gem_object_del to nouveau_bo_del_ttm. This ensures that it will
be run after ttm_bo_delayed_delete.
