CVE-2024-40924

drm/i915/dpt: Make DPT object unshrinkable

Published Jul 12, 2024 CVSS 3.1 · 7.8 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/i915/dpt: Make DPT object unshrinkable

In some scenarios, the DPT object gets shrunk but
the actual framebuffer did not and thus its still
there on the DPT's vm->bound_list. Then it tries to
rewrite the PTEs via a stale CPU mapping. This causes panic.

[vsyrjala: Add TODO comment]
(cherry picked from commit 51064d471c53dcc8eddd2333c3f1c1d9131ba36c)
