## Overview

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/amdgpu: fix use-after-free bug

The bug can be triggered by sending a single amdgpu_gem_userptr_ioctl
to the AMDGPU DRM driver on any ASICs with an invalid address and size.
The bug was reported by Joonkyo Jung <joonkyoj@yonsei.ac.kr>.
For example the following code:

static void Syzkaller1(int fd)
{
	struct drm_amdgpu_gem_userptr arg;
	int ret;

	arg.addr = 0xffffffffffff0000;
	arg.size = 0x80000000; /*2 Gb*/
	arg.flags = 0x7;
	ret = drmIoctl(fd, 0xc1186451/*amdgpu_gem_userptr_ioctl*/, &arg);
}

Due to the address and size are not valid there is a failure in
amdgpu_hmm_register->mmu_interval_notifier_insert->__mmu_interval_notifier_insert->
check_shl_overflow, but we even the amdgpu_hmm_register failure we still call
amdgpu_hmm_unregister into  amdgpu_gem_object_free which causes access to a bad address.
The following stack is below when the issue is reproduced when Kazan is enabled:
