CVE-2024-49942: drm/xe: Prevent null pointer access in xe_migrate_copy

MediumCVSS 5.5 · v3.1—No exploit Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 22/100)

  • 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: 0.23% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Linux Linux 16e0267db156f8a4ea16bfb3ac3f5743c9698df3, 7257d9c9a3c6cfe26c428e9b7ae21d61f2f55a79, 8f5199b6971f0717c2d31685953971fa2e1b9e1a.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 16e0267db156f8a4ea16bfb3ac3f5743c9698df3, 7257d9c9a3c6cfe26c428e9b7ae21d61f2f55a79, 8f5199b6971f0717c2d31685953971fa2e1b9e1a or later.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/xe: Prevent null pointer access in xe_migrate_copy xe_migrate_copy designed to copy content of TTM resources. When source resource is null, it will trigger a NULL pointer dereference in xe_migrate_copy. To avoid this situation, update lacks source flag to true for this case, the flag will trigger xe_migrate_clear rather than xe_migrate_copy.
