| Vector | AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
The issue is related to a resource management error in the drm/mediatek component of the Linux kernel. If a userspace application attempts to allocate a 0x0 GBM buffer, the kernel will panic due to the lack of a 0 size check in the mtk drm gem obj function. A check has been added to mtk drm gem init to handle this scenario, and testing has verified that the kernel now returns EINVAL instead of panicking.
Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
