VectorAV:L/AC:H/Au:S/C:C/I:N/A:C
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions prior to 6.17.0-rc4-assorted-fix-00005-g0e9bb53a2282-dirty
Description The Linux kernel contains an issue where the drm gem for each gpuvm bo() call from lookup vma() accesses drm gem obj.gpuva.list, which is not initialized when the DRIVER GEM GPUVA feature is not supported by the DRM driver. This can lead to a system crash, specifically a kernel oops, when the msm.separate gpu drm=1 module parameter is set. The issue occurs during the boot process.
Recommendations Update to a newer version of the Linux kernel that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
