CVE-2022-49963 (Linux kernel) — CVSS v3 7.8
Attack vector: local / no user interaction
Plan: 1) Audit SBOM/dependencies, 2) Stage→prod upgrade, 3) Add WAF/proxy monitoring on affected endpoints, 4) Hunt IOCs in logs.
Refs: see the GHSA / vendor advisory / patched release linked on this page.
A vulnerability (unclassified) exists in Linux kernel.
Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of Linux kernel.
Severity: High (CVSS 7.8/10). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover.
Update to the patched release per vendor advisory.
Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.
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)
