CVE-2024-46710: drm/vmwgfx: Prevent unmapping active read buffers

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 18/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.22% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. Special conditions such as timing or configuration are required.
  • Fixed version: Linux Linux 0851b1ec650adadcaa23ec96daad95a55bf966f0, 58a3714db4d9dcaeb9fc4905141e17b9f536c0a5, aba07b9a0587f50e5d3346eaa19019cf3f86c0ea; Azure Linux 3.0 ARM 6.6.57.1-1; Azure Linux 3.0 x64 6.6.57.1-1.
  • Severity is disputed: the assigning authority (CNA) scores it 7.8, NVD 4.7.
  • Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 0851b1ec650adadcaa23ec96daad95a55bf966f0, 58a3714db4d9dcaeb9fc4905141e17b9f536c0a5, aba07b9a0587f50e5d3346eaa19019cf3f86c0ea; Azure Linux 3.0 ARM 6.6.57.1-1; Azure Linux 3.0 x64 6.6.57.1-1 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/vmwgfx: Prevent unmapping active read buffers The kms paths keep a persistent map active to read and compare the cursor buffer. These maps can race with each other in simple scenario where: a) buffer "a" mapped for update b) buffer "a" mapped for compare c) do the compare d) unmap "a" for compare e) update the cursor f) unmap "a" for update At step "e" the buffer has been unmapped and the read contents is bogus. Prevent unmapping of active read buffers by simply keeping a count of how many paths have currently active maps and unmap only when the count reaches 0.

No credits in the CNA record.

Variant candidates

Same product, same weakness class, within 18 months. If the patch missed the root cause, the sibling bug is here.

No nightly-computed relations.

Chain candidates

An authentication bypass and a privilege-requiring bug in the same product, published close together: combined they may become an unauthenticated path.
