Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe: Fix oops in xe_gem_fault when running core_hotunplug test.
I saw an oops in xe_gem_fault when running the xe-fast-feedback
testlist against the realtime kernel without debug options enabled.
The panic happens after core_hotunplug unbind-rebind finishes.
Presumably what happens is that a process mmaps, unlocks because
of the FAULT_FLAG_RETRY_NOWAIT logic, has no process memory left,
causing ttm_bo_vm_dummy_page() to return VM_FAULT_NOPAGE, since
there was nothing left to populate, and then oopses in
"mem_type_is_vram(tbo->resource->mem_type)" because tbo->resource
is NULL.
It's convoluted, but fits the data and explains the oops after
the test exits.
A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Intel Xe GPU driver. In xe_gem_fault(), after a device hotplug unbind-rebind cycle, a race condition can occur where a process has memory mapped but the TTM buffer object's resource pointer becomes NULL. When the fault handler attempts to check the memory type via mem_type_is_vram(tbo->resource->mem_type), it dereferences the NULL pointer, causing a kernel panic. A local user could potentially trigger this through GPU hotplug operations.
Отчет
This vulnerability affects systems with Intel discrete GPUs using the Xe driver. The issue manifests during device hotplug operations and requires specific timing conditions. Exploitation leads to a kernel crash and denial of service.
Меры по смягчению последствий
To mitigate this issue, prevent the xe module from being loaded if Intel discrete GPU functionality is not required. See https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278 for instructions on how to blacklist a kernel module.
