Remediation

Recommended actions to resolve this vulnerability, in priority order.

  1. Upgrade

    Upgrade to a fixed release to a version that resolves this vulnerability.

    Fixed in 6.6.157.1-1
  2. Configuration

    Update lima_vm_create() so the va_start and va_end variables are initialized before calling drm_mm_init(). This prevents drm_mm_init() from running with them both equal to 0, which currently triggers the BUG at drivers/gpu/drm/drm_mm.c:931 when DRM_DEBUG_MM is enabled.

    DRM (drivers/gpu/drm/drm_mm.c / lima) lima_vm_create() call ordering relative to va_start/va_end initialization = Call lima_vm_create() after va_start and va_end are set up (so drm_mm_init() receives a valid allocation range)
