CVE-2026-99004: drm/imagination: Size page table preallocation by device address
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/imagination: Size page table preallocation by device address
Commit 0a8224058a58 ("drm/imagination: Fix page count for page table for map() interface") passed the device address to pvrmmuopcontextcreate(), but the preallocation is still sized from deviceaddr + sgtoffset with an exclusive end. The offset into the object's pages has no place in a device-virtual range, and the exclusive end allocates one table too many when the range ends on a table boundary.
Count the tables from deviceaddr and the inclusive end of the range.
The new calculation does not take page table indices into account. This fixes another issue with the previous implementation, where the difference between start and end indices could underflow when a mapping crossed a page table boundary. This would lead to the driver preallocating a huge number of MMU pages, exhausting system memory and triggering an out of memory panic.

Frequently Asked Questions
What systems are exposed to the memory-exhaustion condition?
Systems using the Linux kernel's drm/imagination driver are affected when a mapping crosses a page table boundary. The faulty table-count calculation can underflow and cause the driver to preallocate a huge number of MMU pages.
What is the practical impact of triggering the flaw?
The excessive MMU-page preallocation can exhaust system memory and trigger an out-of-memory panic.
Are fixes available in stable kernel trees?
Yes. The provided references include stable kernel commits 51b56bad96fd20127034f660b337c00317c65151, f9b215b3e37a5047c406545de51bf8a2aeb4cd1c, and 7f73da0facf864fe796371ebaccacb1fee678aaf.
