Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/v3d: Fix vaddr leak when indirect CSD has zeroed workgroups

v3d_rewrite_csd_job_wg_counts_from_indirect() maps both the indirect
buffer and the workgroup buffer and is expected to release them before
returning. When any of the workgroup counts read from the buffer is zero,
the function bailed out early and skipped the cleanup, leaking the vaddr
mappings of both BOs.

Jump to the cleanup path instead of returning directly, so the mappings
are always dropped.

CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H Click to expand
Attack vector (AV:L)
They already need access on the box, or another person has to do something wrong; it’s not a remote drive-by.
Attack complexity (AC:L)
Once they can reach the bug, pulling it off is straightforward—no weird race conditions or rare setup.
Privileges required (PR:L)
A normal user session is enough; they don’t have to be admin.
User interaction (UI:N)
Nobody has to click “OK” or open a trap file; it can work without a victim helping.
Scope (S:U)
Damage stays in the same “trust bubble” as the broken component—no big spill into unrelated systems.
Confidentiality (C:N)
Doesn’t really leak secrets in a meaningful way.
Integrity (I:N)
Data isn’t meaningfully altered or forged.
Availability (A:H)
Could take the service down hard or make it unusable for people who depend on it.
