CVE-2022-50527: drm/amdgpu: Fix size validation for non-exclusive domains (v4)

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

drm/amdgpu: Fix size validation for non-exclusive domains (v4)

Fix amdgpubovalidatesize() to check whether the TTM domain manager for the requested memory exists, else we get a kernel oops when dereferencing "man".

v2: Make the patch standalone, i.e. not dependent on local patches. v3: Preserve old behaviour and just check that the manager pointer is not NULL. v4: Complain if GTT domain requested and it is uninitialized--most likely a bug.

Frequently Asked Questions

1

What level of access does an attacker need?

The CVSS vector indicates local access and low privileges are required. No user interaction is required.

2

What is the practical impact if the flaw is triggered?

The null pointer dereference can cause a kernel oops, resulting in a high availability impact. The supplied CVSS vector indicates no confidentiality or integrity impact.

3

Under what condition is the affected path reached?

The issue occurs when amdgpu buffer-object size validation requests a memory domain whose TTM domain manager does not exist. An uninitialized GTT domain is specifically identified as a likely bug condition.
