Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-08-10 13:20 - Updated: 2026-08-17 05:18

Severity

7.3 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:H

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/xe/vm: Fix BO prefetch with CONSULT_MEM_ADVISE_PREF_LOC When prefetch region is DRM_XE_CONSULT_MEM_ADVISE_PREF_LOC for a BO VMA, the code used it as an index into region_to_mem_type[], causing an out-of-bounds access since the value is -1. Resolve the preferred location for BO VMAs directly: local VRAM on dGFX (using the BO's tile placement) or system memory on iGPU. Discovered using AI-assisted static analysis confirmed by Intel Product Security. v2: -Fix null dereference (cherry picked from commit d9a4906ac03be9f6ed3f3b45c56c866b867fd75b)

No race, no memory-layout grooming, and no special config beyond a normal Intel Xe GPU.\nPR:L - XE_VM_BIND is registered DRM_RENDER_ALLOW, so any unprivileged user or sandboxed/containerized process holding a render-node fd (the norm for desktop, Android and GPU containers) can drive the path; no capability or root is needed.\nUI:N - The attacker performs the entire sequence (create BO, bind, prefetch) from their own process via ioctls; no victim action or interaction is required.\nS:U - The out-of-bounds access and any resulting fault or misbehaviour stay within the kernel of the same machine and are not mediated across a VM, IOMMU or other security authority boundary.\nC:H - region_to_mem_type[] is a 3-entry array indexed with 0xFFFFFFFF, an unbounded wild read roughly 16 GB past the object rather than a small bounded overread; the loaded word is consumed by the driver and, on layouts where the address is readable, exposes memory the caller must never observe, so a high confidentiality impact is the defensible assessment.\nI:L - The out-of-bounds word is used directly as the mem_type argument to xe_bo_migrate(), so uninitialized/foreign data drives xe_bo_can_migrate(), mem_type_is_vram() and add_vram() placement decisions, letting a buffer object be moved to a memory region the caller never requested; the subsequent placement check bounds this to limited modification rather than an arbitrary write.\nA:H - The 0xFFFFFFFF index computes an address far outside any valid mapping (on x86-64 the module-relative offset wraps into a non-kernel address), so the read faults in kernel mode inside an in-progress drm_exec transaction holding VM and BO locks, producing an oops and a wedged GPU context \u2014 a repeatable crash any local user can trigger."
