Both sides of the race are attacker-controlled and the sequence is repeatable at will.\nPR:L - Only an open file descriptor on the Xe render node plus a VM created via DRM_IOCTL_XE_VM_CREATE is needed; no capability check exists on the vm_bind path. Render nodes are routinely accessible to unprivileged users, Android apps, containers and GPU-sharing tenants.\nUI:N - The attacker performs the entire sequence (vm create, bo create, vm_bind with induced contention/memory pressure) from its own process; no victim action is required.\nS:U - The out-of-bounds write and the subsequent corrupted-pointer use occur in kernel heap memory within the same security authority as the kernel itself; no VM, IOMMU or sandbox boundary is crossed by the flaw itself.\nC:H - After the index inflates, xe_pt_update_ops_fini()/xe_pt_update_ops_abort() iterate i < current_op and read adjacent-slab contents as xe_vma/pt pointers and num_entries, and xe_migrate_update_pgtables_cpu() consumes the corrupted pt_op, giving out-of-bounds reads of kernel objects and a UAF that can be groomed into an arbitrary-read primitive.\nI:H - Each retry writes a full struct xe_vm_pgtable_update_op (pointer-rich entries[] plus vma pointer and flags) past the end of the kmalloc'd ops array, with attacker-chosen overflow length and slab size, and the corrupted entries are later fed to xe_pt_free_bind()/xe_pt_abort_bind() and GPU page-table programming — a controllable heap corruption suitable for privilege escalation.\nA:H - The commit documents an out-of-bounds write into SLUB-poisoned memory followed by a UAF crash in xe_migrate_update_pgtables_cpu(); an unprivileged process can reliably and repeatedly panic the kernel, and corrupted page-table state additionally wedges the GPU." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_pt.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "e8babb280b5ef904df54b3a90e5a7e3a9600c4a9", "lessThan": "be5c39730ab8f1dfe59983bf7d8e3705541d1fee", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "e8babb280b5ef904df54b3a90e5a7e3a9600c4a9", "lessThan": "157b1e3384d7d37f59c0c2b2ff2af8f557db1daa", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "e8babb280b5ef904df54b3a90e5a7e3a9600c4a9", "lessThan": "90e4fd331b980259c40118d05b89b0ec514e7c48", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "e8babb280b5ef904df54b3a90e5a7e3a9600c4a9", "lessThan": "6384271ac1ac0099198d15df79212a19ebdb929d", "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/xe/xe_pt.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "6.12", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "6.12", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.12.103", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.18.44", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.1.6", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.2", "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": "6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.103" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.44" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "7.1.6" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/be5c39730ab8f1dfe59983bf7d8e3705541d1fee" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/157b1e3384d7d37f59c0c2b2ff2af8f557db1daa" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/90e4fd331b980259c40118d05b89b0ec514e7c48" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6384271ac1ac0099198d15df79212a19ebdb929d" } ], "title": "drm/xe/pt: Reset current_op in xe_pt_update_ops_init()", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } } } }
