Any mapping race and heap grooming are controlled by the same caller and can be retried.\nPR:L - I915_GEM_EXECBUFFER2_WR is registered with DRM_RENDER_ALLOW, and drm_ioctl_permit() imposes no DRM_AUTH, DRM_MASTER, DRM_ROOT_ONLY, or CAP_SYS_ADMIN check; an ordinary user with render-node access can invoke it.\nUI:N - The attacker opens the i915 render node, prepares GEM objects and relocation arrays, and issues the execbuffer ioctl directly; no action by another user is required.\nS:U - The erroneous kvfree() corrupts the host kernel heap from a host userspace client, constituting ordinary local-to-kernel escalation without crossing a VM, IOMMU, or other distinct security authority.\nC:H - After eb_parse() increments buffer_count, eb_relocate_parse_slow() reads an untouched post-array slot as an exec object and passes its stale relocs_ptr to kvfree(); reusing a previously freed relocation-copy pointer produces a heap UAF capable of exposing kernel memory.\nI:H - The attacker-groomable kvfree() can double-free or prematurely free a live allocation referenced through the stale relocs_ptr; reclaiming that object while stale users remain provides heap-corruption and control-flow-hijacking primitives.\nA:H - kvfree() of the out-of-array relocs_ptr can immediately oops in kfree() for an invalid address or corrupt the allocator through a double-free; repeated execbuffer submissions can therefore crash or panic the kernel." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gem/i915_gem_execbuffer.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "8e4ba491b0ba6fef69270d3c4e48fc517096ef41", "lessThan": "24c04e80c35ff36947366f6deafddb522eea080c", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "8e4ba491b0ba6fef69270d3c4e48fc517096ef41", "lessThan": "b1c357131fc467c579f65e9a9d1fdc1a6273ae1d", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "8e4ba491b0ba6fef69270d3c4e48fc517096ef41", "lessThan": "152fb5083b9333a1cb8629572f9e0f276a404ba6", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "8e4ba491b0ba6fef69270d3c4e48fc517096ef41", "lessThan": "72d5cbb10d4916a3f8ef9da516c5c0634aca8439", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "8e4ba491b0ba6fef69270d3c4e48fc517096ef41", "lessThan": "ebe162db655881a38de43301151ff7ac940602b5", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gem/i915_gem_execbuffer.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "5.10", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "5.10", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.6.160", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.12.113", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.18.57", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.2.11", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.2.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.3", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix" } ] } ], "cpeApplicability": [ { "nodes": [ { "operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [ { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.10", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.160" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.10", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.113" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.10", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.57" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.10", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.11" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.10", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/24c04e80c35ff36947366f6deafddb522eea080c" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b1c357131fc467c579f65e9a9d1fdc1a6273ae1d" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/152fb5083b9333a1cb8629572f9e0f276a404ba6" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/72d5cbb10d4916a3f8ef9da516c5c0634aca8439" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ebe162db655881a38de43301151ff7ac940602b5" } ], "title": "drm/i915/gem: Prevent overstepping exec array boundary", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } } } }
