Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description A lack of check for copy-on-write (COW) mapping in drm gem shmem mmap allows users to call mmap with PROT WRITE and MAP PRIVATE flag, causing a kernel panic due to BUG ON in vmf insert pfn prot. The issue can be reproduced by calling mmap with specific parameters, such as void *ptr = mmap(0, size, PROT WRITE, MAP PRIVATE, fd, mmap offset);. This bug affects all drm drivers using default shmem helpers.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
