# Use After Free vulnerability in Arm Ltd Bifrost GPU Kernel Driver, Arm Ltd Valhall GPU Kernel Driver allows a local…

Arm Bifrost and Valhall GPU kernel drivers contain a use-after-free bug in GPU memory handling. A local, unprivileged user can reach memory that was already freed, which can lead to privilege escalation on the device.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## Affected

- vendor:Arm Mali GPU Kernel Driver affected ? fixed ?
- vendor:arm bifrost gpu kernel driver affected >= r34p0, < r41p0 fixed r41p0
- vendor:arm valhall gpu kernel driver affected >= r34p0, < r41p0 fixed r41p0

## Fix

Apply the mitigation or patched driver version per Arm's vendor bulletin; CISA says to discontinue use if no mitigation is available.
