Summary

In the Linux kernel, the VMware driver (drm/vmwgfx) function vmw_external_bo_copy() did not validate bounds for copy operations on imported dma-buf buffers. Lack of validation could lead to out-of-bounds reads or writes, especially with crafted plane state data.

Risk Assessment

The vulnerability could allow an attacker with CRTC access to cause a system crash or potentially execute code in kernel context via a malicious atomic commit.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that adds bounds validation using check_mul_overflow() and check_add_overflow() and appropriate stride restrictions.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/vmwgfx: validate external BO copy bounds for both stride paths vmw_external_bo_copy() trusts caller-supplied offsets, strides, and heights and operates on imported dma-buf vmaps: - The equal-stride memcpy() bound was clamped after subtracting the offsets from dst_size and src_size; an offset larger than the BO size wraps the unsigned subtraction to a huge value and the resulting memcpy() runs off the end of the vmap. dst_stride * height is also a u32 multiplication that can overflow. - The non-equal-stride row-by-row path had no bound at all. The loop touches bytes through offset + (height - 1) * stride + width_in_bytes, with only a WARN_ON(dst_stride < width_in_bytes), and could likewise step past the end of either mapping. The offsets and strides are derived from STDU/SOU plane state, so a configured CRTC submitting a crafted atomic commit on an imported framebuffer can reach this path. Validate the exact row-copy endpoint against each BO's size up front using check_mul_overflow() and check_add_overflow(). Use the bulk memcpy() path only when width_in_bytes covers the whole stride; otherwise copy one row at a time so partial-row updates near the bottom of a framebuffer remain valid. Also reject zero strides and stride < width_in_bytes, both of which the row-by-row path cannot represent safely.
