There is no network-reachable path into `intel_dpt_create()`/`intel_dpt_resume()`.\nAC:L - The attacker controls every input: creating many DPT-backed framebuffers via ADDFB2 exhausts stolen memory to force the shrinkable shmem DPT path, anonymous memory allocation drives kswapd's `I915_SHRINK_ACTIVE` pass that evicts the DPT object, and logind lets an active local session initiate suspend/resume on demand, with unlimited retries.\nPR:L - An unprivileged local user with a graphical session holds an open primary DRM node (ADDFB2 has ioctl flags 0 — neither DRM_MASTER nor CAP_SYS_ADMIN is checked) and can allocate memory and request suspend; no root or capability is needed.\nUI:N - The bound framebuffer vma on the DPT vm's `bound_list` is the normal steady state of any running compositor, and the attacker can drive both the shrink and the suspend/resume itself via logind or the RTC wakealarm. No victim action is required.\nS:U - The dangling write and the resulting corruption are confined to the kernel's own address space and the same i915 device; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - Corrupted/stale DPT page-table entries make the display engine fetch arbitrary physical pages for scanout, disclosing kernel and other-process memory, and the use-after-free write into reused vmalloc/ioremap space can be leveraged to expose memory contents.\nI:H - `dpt_insert_entries()` performs many 64-bit `writeq()` operations at an attacker-influenced index with attacker-influenced PTE values through a freed kernel mapping, a use-after-free/out-of-bounds write primitive usable for control-flow corruption once the VA range is reused.\nA:H - The fix commit states plainly that rewriting PTEs via the stale CPU mapping \"causes panic,\" and the related commit reports \"an immediate oops during hibernate,\" i.e. a full kernel crash on the resume path."}]}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gem/i915_gem_object.h"],"versions":[{"version":"0dc987b699ce4266450d407d6d79d41eab88c5d0","lessThan":"327280149066f0e5f2e50356b5823f76dabfe86e","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"0dc987b699ce4266450d407d6d79d41eab88c5d0","lessThan":"7a9883be3b98673333eec65c4a21cc18e60292eb","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"0dc987b699ce4266450d407d6d79d41eab88c5d0","lessThan":"a2552020fb714ff357182c3c179abfac2289f84d","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"0dc987b699ce4266450d407d6d79d41eab88c5d0","lessThan":"43e2b37e2ab660c3565d4cff27922bc70e79c3f1","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/i915/gem/i915_gem_object.h"],"versions":[{"version":"6.0","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"6.0","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.1.95","lessThanOrEqual":"6.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.35","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.9.6","lessThanOrEqual":"6.9.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.10","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":"6.0","versionEndExcluding":"6.1.95"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.0","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.35"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.0","versionEndExcluding":"6.9.6"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.0","versionEndExcluding":"6.10"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/327280149066f0e5f2e50356b5823f76dabfe86e"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7a9883be3b98673333eec65c4a21cc18e60292eb"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a2552020fb714ff357182c3c179abfac2289f84d"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/43e2b37e2ab660c3565d4cff27922bc70e79c3f1"}],"title":"drm/i915/dpt: Make DPT object unshrinkable","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}},"adp":[{"title":"CVE Program Container","references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/327280149066f0e5f2e50356b5823f76dabfe86e","tags":["x_transferred"]},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7a9883be3b98673333eec65c4a21cc18e60292eb","tags":["x_transferred"]},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a2552020fb714ff357182c3c179abfac2289f84d","tags":["x_transferred"]},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/43e2b37e2ab660c3565d4cff27922bc70e79c3f1","tags":["x_transferred"]},{"url":"https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2025/01/msg00001.html"}],"providerMetadata":{"orgId":"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108","shortName":"CVE","dateUpdated":"2025-11-03T21:57:53.715Z"}},{"metrics":[{"other":{"type":"ssvc","content":{"id":"CVE-2024-40924","role":"CISA Coordinator","options":[{"Exploitation":"none"},{"Automatable":"no"},{"Technical Impact":"partial"}],"version":"2.0.3","timestamp":"2024-09-10T17:05:20.923051Z"}}}],"title":"CISA ADP Vulnrichment","providerMetadata":{"orgId":"134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0","shortName":"CISA-ADP","dateUpdated":"2024-09-11T17:33:03.482Z"}}]}}
