The triggering CPU-only BO is created through local DRM_IOCTL_NOUVEAU_GEM_NEW, not supplied over a network or physical link.\nAC:L - After VM_INIT, the same client can create a CPU-only BO that nouveau_gem_new() leaves in TTM_PL_SYSTEM and submit a MAP operation; bind_lock_validate() preserves that placement and op_map() deterministically miscasts it. No race or condition outside the attacker's control is required.\nPR:L - NOUVEAU_VM_INIT, NOUVEAU_GEM_NEW, and NOUVEAU_VM_BIND are registered with DRM_RENDER_ALLOW and no DRM_ROOT_ONLY, DRM_AUTH, or capability check. An unprivileged local user able to open the nouveau render node can execute the complete sequence.\nUI:N - The attacker opens their own render-node fd and personally issues VM_INIT, GEM_NEW, and VM_BIND. No separate victim must mount media, open a file, or perform another action.\nS:U - The invalid struct nouveau_mem access occurs within the host nouveau driver and affects memory governed by the same kernel authority. It does not inherently cross a VM, IOMMU, or other security boundary.\nC:H - nouveau_uvmm_vmm_map() reads mem->mem.type from freed slab memory after op_map() treats a shorter TTM_PL_SYSTEM struct ttm_resource as struct nouveau_mem. This attacker-triggerable kernel UAF permits controlled slab reuse and a high-impact kernel-memory disclosure primitive.\nI:H - op_map() passes the falsely downcast resource onward to nvif_vmm_raw_map() as an nvif_mem, allowing reclaimed slab state to influence GPU mapping operations. The resulting kernel UAF/type confusion supports arbitrary writes or control-flow hijacking through heap grooming.\nA:H - KASAN confirmed the slab-use-after-free read in nouveau_uvmm_vmm_map() from the DRM scheduler workqueue. Repeated CPU-only BO mappings can dereference invalid freed-object state and cause a kernel oops or panic."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_uvmm.c"], "versions": [{"version": "b88baab828713ce0b49b185444b2ee83bed373a8", "lessThan": "34d9dffaf0ff43ac395a7955b3f7b5d9d6154bf3", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "b88baab828713ce0b49b185444b2ee83bed373a8", "lessThan": "1245b4b43da67596be61600dbd746539c79495ac", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "b88baab828713ce0b49b185444b2ee83bed373a8", "lessThan": "0d29bf51f8dddcf8556bf76710d3dd3024a1a717", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "b88baab828713ce0b49b185444b2ee83bed373a8", "lessThan": "5b2fffbba290ed74f381911b9986570bc10feaa4", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "b88baab828713ce0b49b185444b2ee83bed373a8", "lessThan": "3359a372efb6d585c97019ee1b7f1874442bcebe", "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/nouveau/nouveau_uvmm.c"], "versions": [{"version": "6.6", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "6.6", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.6.160", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.112", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.18.55", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.2.9", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.2.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.3", "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": "6.6", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.160"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.6", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.112"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.6", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.55"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.6", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.9"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.6", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/34d9dffaf0ff43ac395a7955b3f7b5d9d6154bf3"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1245b4b43da67596be61600dbd746539c79495ac"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0d29bf51f8dddcf8556bf76710d3dd3024a1a717"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5b2fffbba290ed74f381911b9986570bc10feaa4"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3359a372efb6d585c97019ee1b7f1874442bcebe"}], "title": "drm/nouveau/uvmm: fix UAF in nouveau_uvmm_sm when BO is in TTM_PL_SYSTEM", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
