Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-09-24 18:31 – Updated: 2026-09-25 06:30

Details

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

drm/pagemap: dma-unmap pages before handling migration errors

drm_pagemap_migrate_unmap_pages() relies on the pages array to determine which pages require DMA unmapping. However, drm_pagemap_migration_unlock_put_pages() clears the array as part of its cleanup, leaving drm_pagemap_migrate_unmap_pages() with no valid page information if it is called afterward.

Call drm_pagemap_migrate_unmap_pages() before drm_pagemap_migration_unlock_put_pages() so the pages array remains valid during DMA unmapping.

Severity

8.8 (High)

No remote protocol byte reaches those functions.\nAC:L - The attacker creates the SVM range, migrates it to VRAM, and CPU-faults or TTM-evicts it. After drm_pagemap_migrate_map_system_pages() has dma_map_page()\u0027d dest folios, they force err_finalize by exhausting gt-\u003eusm.bb_pool so xe_svm_copy_to_ram()/xe_bb_new() returns -ENOMEM, or by fragmenting IOVA so dma_iova_try_alloc() fails and a later dma_map_page() returns -EFAULT. No victim timing.\nPR:L - DRM_IOCTL_XE_VM_CREATE and DRM_IOCTL_XE_VM_BIND are DRM_RENDER_ALLOW; xe_vm_create_ioctl() performs no capable() or DRM-master check. An unprivileged local user with typical render/video-group access to /dev/dri/renderD* on an Intel Xe discrete GPU (CONFIG_DRM_XE_PAGEMAP defaults to y) can create a fault-mode VM and reach the patched functions.\nUI:N - The attacking process opens the render node, creates its own fault-mode VM, CPU_ADDR_MIRROR-binds its anonymous mapping, prefetches or GPU-faults it into VRAM, then CPU-accesses or forces TTM eviction. No other user must mount a filesystem or open a file.\nS:C - On err_finalize, drm_pagemap_migration_unlock_put_pages() folio_put()s the destination RAM folios and zeros migrate_pfn, so drm_pagemap_migrate_unmap_pages() sees a NULL page and skips dma_unmap_page(). Those IOMMU PTEs remain aimed at pages already returned to the buddy allocator, which is an IOMMU/DMA isolation bypass.\nC:H - Destination folios from drm_pagemap_migrate_populate_ram_pfn() are put while still dma_map_page()\u0027d. Recycled host pages stay IOMMU-reachable through the leaked translation, so later DMA can disclose their new kernel or cross-process contents rather than a bounded pointer leak.\nI:H - The leaked mappings are DMA_FROM_DEVICE (Xe copy-from-VRAM via xe_svm_copy_to_ram()). After folio_put(), a GPU/IOMMU transaction through those IOVAs writes into whatever reused the physical pages, an arbitrary physical write through the IOMMU rather than a bounded corruption.\nA:H - Each failed __drm_pagemap_migrate_to_ram()/drm_pagemap_evict_to_ram() leaks that range\u0027s dma_map_page() IOVAs; the attacker loops CPU faults after inducing xe_bb_new() or map errors. Unbounded IOVA growth wedges later maps, and DMA into buddy-reused pages oopses or panics, not a mere slowdown."
