CVSS Meta Temp Score CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.	Current Exploit Price (≈) Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.	CTI Interest Score Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in Linux Kernel up to 7.2.5. Affected is the function lima_vm_create of the file drivers/gpu/drm/drm_mm.c of the component lima. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a allocation of resources vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-770. The product allocates a reusable resource or group of resources on behalf of an actor without imposing any restrictions on the size or number of resources that can be allocated, in violation of the intended security policy for that actor. This is going to have an impact on availability. CVE summarizes:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/lima: call drm_mm_init() with a valid allocation range lima_vm_create() is currently run before va_start and va_end are set up, meaning they are both 0. lima_vm_create() runs drm_mm_init() with them as arguments for the allocator, and if DRM_DEBUG_MM is enabled the DRM_MM_BUG_ON check in drm_mm_init then fires, as seen here on exynos4412-odroid-u2: [ 1.736297] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 1.740370] kernel BUG at drivers/gpu/drm/drm_mm.c:931! [ 1.745574] Internal error: Oops - BUG: 0 [#1] SMP ARM [ 1.750697] Modules linked in: [ 1.753734] CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 41 Comm: kworker/u16:1 Not tainted 7.0.10-postmarketos-exynos4 #11 PREEMPT [ 1.763372] Hardware name: Samsung Exynos (Flattened Device Tree) [ 1.769446] Workqueue: events_unbound deferred_probe_work_func [ 1.775261] PC is at drm_mm_init+0x9c/0xa4 [ 1.779339] LR is at lima_vm_create+0x144/0x17c [ ... ] Fix the issue by moving the lima_vm_create() call after va_start and va_end are set up.
