There is no network-reachable path into `intel_dpt_create()`/`intel_dpt_resume()`.\nAC:L - The attacker controls every input: creating many DPT-backed framebuffers via ADDFB2 exhausts stolen memory to force the shrinkable shmem DPT path, anonymous memory allocation drives kswapd's `I915_SHRINK_ACTIVE` pass that evicts the DPT object, and logind lets an active local session initiate suspend/resume on demand, with unlimited retries.\nPR:L - An unprivileged local user with a graphical session holds an open primary DRM node (ADDFB2 has ioctl flags 0 — neither DRM_MASTER nor CAP_SYS_ADMIN is checked) and can allocate memory and request suspend; no root or capability is needed.\nUI:N - The bound framebuffer vma on the DPT vm's `bound_list` is the normal steady state of any running compositor, and the attacker can drive both the shrink and the suspend/resume itself via logind or the RTC wakealarm. No victim action is required.\nS:U - The dangling write and the resulting corruption are confined to the kernel's own address space and the same i915 device; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - Corrupted/stale DPT page-table entries make the display engine fetch arbitrary physical pages for scanout, disclosing kernel and other-process memory, and the use-after-free write into reused vmalloc/ioremap space can be leveraged to expose memory contents.\nI:H - `dpt_insert_entries()` performs many 64-bit `writeq()` operations at an attacker-influenced index with attacker-influenced PTE values through a freed kernel mapping, a use-after-free/out-of-bounds write primitive usable for control-flow corruption once the VA range is reused.\nA:H - The fix commit states plainly that rewriting PTEs via the stale CPU mapping \"causes panic,\" and the related commit reports \"an immediate oops during hibernate,\" i.e. a full kernel crash on the resume path." } ] } ], "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_object.h" ], "versions": [ { "version": "0dc987b699ce4266450d407d6d79d41eab88c5d0", "lessThan": "327280149066f0e5f2e50356b5823f76dabfe86e", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "0dc987b699ce4266450d407d6d79d41eab88c5d0", "lessThan": "7a9883be3b98673333eec65c4a21cc18e60292eb", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "0dc987b699ce4266450d407d6d79d41eab88c5d0", "lessThan": "a2552020fb714ff357182c3c179abfac2289f84d", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "0dc987b699ce4266450d407d6d79d41eab88c5d0", "lessThan": "43e2b37e2ab660c3565d4cff27922bc70e79c3f1", "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_object.h" ], "versions": [ { "version": "6.0", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "6.0", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.1.95", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.6.35", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.9.6", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.9.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.10", "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": "6.0", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.95" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.0", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.35" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.0", "versionEndExcluding": "6.9.6" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.0", "versionEndExcluding": "6.10" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/327280149066f0e5f2e50356b5823f76dabfe86e" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7a9883be3b98673333eec65c4a21cc18e60292eb" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a2552020fb714ff357182c3c179abfac2289f84d" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/43e2b37e2ab660c3565d4cff27922bc70e79c3f1" } ], "title": "drm/i915/dpt: Make DPT object unshrinkable", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } }, "adp": [ { "title": "CVE Program Container", "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/327280149066f0e5f2e50356b5823f76dabfe86e", "tags": [ "x_transferred" ] }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7a9883be3b98673333eec65c4a21cc18e60292eb", "tags": [ "x_transferred" ] }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a2552020fb714ff357182c3c179abfac2289f84d", "tags": [ "x_transferred" ] }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/43e2b37e2ab660c3565d4cff27922bc70e79c3f1", "tags": [ "x_transferred" ] }, { "url": "https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2025/01/msg00001.html" } ], "providerMetadata": { "orgId": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "shortName": "CVE", "dateUpdated": "2025-11-03T21:57:53.715Z" } }, { "metrics": [ { "other": { "type": "ssvc", "content": { "id": "CVE-2024-40924", "role": "CISA Coordinator", "options": [ { "Exploitation": "none" }, { "Automatable": "no" }, { "Technical Impact": "partial" } ], "version": "2.0.3", "timestamp": "2024-09-10T17:05:20.923051Z" } } } ], "title": "CISA ADP Vulnrichment", "providerMetadata": { "orgId": "134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0", "shortName": "CISA-ADP", "dateUpdated": "2024-09-11T17:33:03.482Z" } } ] } }
