Subject: CVE-2025-68793: drm/amdgpu: fix a job->pasid access race in gpu recovery

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>

Description
===========

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

drm/amdgpu: fix a job->pasid access race in gpu recovery

Avoid a possible UAF in GPU recovery due to a race between
the sched timeout callback and the tdr work queue.

The gpu recovery function calls drm_sched_stop() and
later drm_sched_start().  drm_sched_start() restarts
the tdr queue which will eventually free the job.  If
the tdr queue frees the job before time out callback
completes, the job will be freed and we'll get a UAF
when accessing the pasid.  Cache it early to avoid the
UAF.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
	https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/dac58c012c47cadf337a35eb05d44498c43e5cd0
