There is no remote or adjacent-network input.\nAC:L - Both preconditions are under the attacker's control: the failing `drm_gem_vmap()` is reliably produced by exhausting system memory or VRAM through the render node, and the damage blit is triggered on demand by writing to `/dev/fb0`. No condition depends on state the attacker cannot influence.\nPR:L - An ordinary local account with the usual graphics access (fbdev/DRM render node, e.g. the video/render/graphics groups on desktops, Android and embedded systems) suffices; no CAP_SYS_ADMIN or root is required anywhere on the path.\nUI:N - The attacker drives the entire sequence from its own process — allocate to force the vmap failure, then dirty the framebuffer; the damage worker also fires automatically on console updates. No victim action is needed.\nS:U - The corruption stays within the kernel's own security authority; there is no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary crossed by the failed mapping or the reservation-lock imbalance.\nC:H - The uninitialized `iosys_map` write and the released-but-still-assumed-held reservation lock give memory corruption plus a race window where a BO can be moved/evicted mid-blit, which is leverageable for disclosure of arbitrary kernel memory.\nI:H - A loop of `memcpy` writes of fully userspace-controlled shadow-framebuffer bytes lands at an uninitialized kernel pointer (or MMIO address), which with stack grooming is an arbitrary-write primitive suitable for control-flow hijack.\nA:H - The write through the garbage pointer causes an immediate oops/panic (a guaranteed NULL-deref on `INIT_STACK_ALL_ZERO` builds), and the extra `dma_resv_unlock()` corrupts ww_mutex state, leading to warnings, stolen locks and deadlocks." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "drivers/gpu/drm/drm_client.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "b4b0193e83cb987143583e2b4011b35331f429bd", "lessThan": "c0f412961653237f52e2f16ee8747fb330bcf074", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "b4b0193e83cb987143583e2b4011b35331f429bd", "lessThan": "b5fbf924f125ba3638cfdc21c0515eb7e76264ca", "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/drm_client.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "6.10", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "6.10", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.10.4", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.10.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.11", "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": "6.10", "versionEndExcluding": "6.10.4" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.10", "versionEndExcluding": "6.11" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c0f412961653237f52e2f16ee8747fb330bcf074" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b5fbf924f125ba3638cfdc21c0515eb7e76264ca" } ], "title": "drm/client: Fix error code in drm_client_buffer_vmap_local()", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } }, "adp": [ { "metrics": [ { "other": { "type": "ssvc", "content": { "id": "CVE-2024-42275", "role": "CISA Coordinator", "options": [ { "Exploitation": "none" }, { "Automatable": "no" }, { "Technical Impact": "partial" } ], "version": "2.0.3", "timestamp": "2024-09-10T16:11:58.568874Z" } } } ], "title": "CISA ADP Vulnrichment", "providerMetadata": { "orgId": "134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0", "shortName": "CISA-ADP", "dateUpdated": "2024-09-12T17:33:31.871Z" } } ] } }
