Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/ttm: Account for NULL and handle pages in ttm_pool_backup

Pages in ttm_pool_backup can be NULL or backup handles (ttm_backup_page_ptr_is_handle()), neither of which can be passed to set_pages_array_wb() or freed. Add a dedicated WB pass before the dma/purge loop that walks allocations using the same i += num_pages stride, skipping NULL and handle entries, and calls set_pages_array_wb() once per contiguous run of real pages. Apply the same NULL/handle guard to the dma/purge loop.

Fixes the following oops:

Detection rules are retrieved from Rulezet.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
