Technical description

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

drm/i915/ttm: fix CCS handling

Crucible + recent Mesa seems to sometimes hit:

GEM_BUG_ON(num_ccs_blks > NUM_CCS_BLKS_PER_XFER)

And it looks like we can also trigger this with gem_lmem_swapping, if we

modify the test to use slightly larger object sizes.

Looking closer it looks like we have the following issues in

migrate_copy():

- We are using plain integer in various places, which we can easily

overflow with a large object.

- We pass the entire object size (when the src is lmem) into

emit_pte() and then try to copy it, which doesn't work, since we

only have a few fixed sized windows in which to map the pages and

perform the copy. With an object > 8M we therefore aren't properly

copying the pages. And then with an object > 64M we trigger the

GEM_BUG_ON(num_ccs_blks > NUM_CCS_BLKS_PER_XFER).

So it looks like our copy handling for any object > 8M (which is our

CHUNK_SZ) is currently bro

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2022-49963?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine.
