What to Know

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

drm/i915: Fix potential UAF in TTM object purge

TLDR: The bo->ttm object might be changed by calling ttm_bo_validate(),

move casting it to an i915_tt object later to actually get the right

pointer.

A user reported hitting the following bug under heavy use on DG2:

Results from decode_stacktrace.sh pointed to dereference of a file pointer

field of a i915 TTM page vector container associated with an object being

purged on eviction. That path is taken when the object is marked as no

longer needed.

Code analysis revealed a possibility of the i915 TTM page vector container

being replaced with a new instance inside a function that purges content

of the object, should it be still busy. That function is called,

indirectly via a more general function that changes the object's placement

and caching policy,
