What is the problem

A vulnerability (unclassified) exists in Linux kernel.

Affected scope

Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of Linux kernel.

Severity

Severity: High (CVSS 7.8/10). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover.

How to fix

Update to the patched release per vendor advisory.

Workaround

Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.

Detection

Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Audit SBOM/dependencies to find affected services.

Original description The description as published by the source.

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

drm/i915/ttm: fix CCS handling

Crucible + recent Mesa seems to sometimes hit:

GEM_BUG_ON(num_ccs_blks > NUM_CCS_BLKS_PER_XFER)

And it looks like we can also trigger this with gem_lmem_swapping, if we
modify the test to use slightly larger object sizes.

Looking closer it looks like we have the following issues in
migrate_copy():

  • We are using plain integer in various places, which we can easily
    overflow with a large object.

  • We pass the entire object size (when the src is lmem) into
    emit_pte() and then try to copy it, which doesn't work, since we
    only have a few fixed sized windows in which to map the pages and
    perform the copy. With an object > 8M we therefore aren't properly
    copying the pages. And then with an object > 64M we trigger the
    GEM_BUG_ON(num_ccs_blks > NUM_CCS_BLKS_PER_XFER).

So it looks like our copy handling for any object > 8M (which is our
CHUNK_SZ) is currently broken on DG2.

Testcase: igt@gem_lmem_swapping
(cherry picked from commit 8676145eb2f53a9940ff70910caf0125bd8a4bc2)
