Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: videobuf2: Set vma_flags in vb2_dma_sg_mmap vb2_dma_contig sets VMA flags VM_DONTEXPAND and VM_DONTDUMP and I do not see a reason why vb2_dma_sg should behave differently. This avoids hitting `WARN_ON(!(vma->vm_flags & VM_DONTEXPAND));` in drm_gem_mmap_obj() during mmap() of an imported dma-buf from the out of tree Apple ISP camera capture driver which uses vb2_dma_sg_memops. gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src ! gtk4paintablesink [ 38.201528] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 38.202135] WARNING: CPU: 7 PID: 2362 at drivers/gpu/drm/drm_gem.c:1144 drm_gem_mmap_obj+0x1f8/0x210 [ 38.203278] Modules linked in: rfcomm snd_seq_dummy snd_hrtimer snd_seq snd_seq_device uinput nf_conntrack_netbios_ns nf_conntrack_broadcast nft_fib_inet nft_fib_ipv4 nft_fib_ipv6 nft_fib nft_reject_inet nf_reject_ipv6 nft_reject nft_ct nft_chain_nat nf_nat nf_conntrack nf_defrag_ipv6 nf_defrag_ipv4 nf_tables qrtr bnep nls_ascii i2c_dev loop fuse dm_multipath nfnetlink brcmfmac_wcc hid_magicmouse hci_bcm4377 brcmfmac brcmutil bluetooth ecdh_generic cfg80211 ecc btrfs xor xor_neon rfkill hid_apple raid6_pq joydev aop_als apple_nvmem_spmi industrialio snd_soc_aop apple_z2 snd_soc_cs42l84 tps6598x snd_soc_tas2764 macsmc_reboot spi_nor macsmc_hwmon rtc_macsmc gpio_macsmc macsmc_power regmap_spmi macsmc_input dockchannel_hid panel_summit appledrm nvme_apple dwc3 snd_soc_macaudio drm_client_lib nvme_core phy_apple_atc hwmon apple_sart apple_dockchannel macsmc apple_rtkit_helper spmi_apple_controller aop apple_wdt mfd_core nvmem_apple_efuses pinctrl_apple_gpio apple_isp apple_dcp videobuf2_dma_sg mux_core spi_apple [ 38.203300] videobuf2_memops i2c_pasemi_platform snd_soc_apple_mca videobuf2_v4l2 videodev clk_apple_nco videobuf2_common snd_pcm_dmaengine adpdrm asahi apple_admac adpdrm_mipi drm_dma_helper pwm_apple i2c_pasemi_core drm_display_helper mc cec apple_dart ofpart apple_soc_cpufreq leds_pwm phram [ 38.217677] CPU: 7 UID: 1000 PID: 2362 Comm: gst-launch-1.0 Tainted: G W 6.17.6+ #asahi-dev PREEMPT(full) [ 38.219040] Tainted: [W]=WARN [ 38.219398] Hardware name: Apple MacBook Pro (13-inch, M2, 2022) (DT) [ 38.220213] pstate: 21400005 (nzCv daif +PAN -UAO -TCO +DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--) [ 38.221088] pc : drm_gem_mmap_obj+0x1f8/0x210 [ 38.221643] lr : drm_gem_mmap_obj+0x78/0x210 [ 38.222178] sp : ffffc0008dc678e0 [ 38.222579] x29: ffffc0008dc678e0 x28: 0000000000042a97 x27: ffff8000b701b480 [ 38.223465] x26: 00000000000000fb x25: ffffc0008dc67d20 x24: ffffc0008dc67968 [ 38.224402] x23: ffff8000e3ca5600 x22: ffff8000265b7800 x21: ffff80003000c0c0 [ 38.225279] x20: 0000000000000000 x19: ffff8000b68c5200 x18: ffffc0008dc67968 [ 38.226151] x17: 0000000000000000 x16: 0000000000000000 x15: ffffc000810a30a8 [ 38.227042] x14: 00007fff637effff x13: 00005555de91ffff x12: 00007fff63293fff [ 38.227942] x11: 0000000000000000 x10: ffff8000184ecf08 x9 : ffffc0007a1900c8 [ 38.228824] x8 : ffffc0008dc67968 x7 : 0000000000000012 x6 : ffffc0015cf1c000 [ 38.229703] x5 : ffffc0008dc676a0 x4 : ffffc00081a27dc0 x3 : 0000000000000038 [ 38.230607] x2 : 0000000000000003 x1 : 0000000000000003 x0 : 00000000100000fb [ 38.231488] Call trace: [ 38.231806] drm_gem_mmap_obj+0x1f8/0x210 (P) [ 38.232342] drm_gem_mmap+0x140/0x260 [ 38.232813] __mmap_region+0x488/0x9a0 [ 38.233277] mmap_region+0xd0/0x148 [ 38.233703] do_mmap+0x350/0x5c0 [ 38.234148] vm_mmap_pgoff+0x14c/0x200 [ 38.234612] ksys_mmap_pgoff+0x150/0x208 [ 38.235107] __arm64_sys_mmap+0x34/0x50 [ 38.235611] invoke_syscall+0x50/0x120 [ 38.236075] el0_svc_common.constprop.0+0x48/0xf0 [ 38.236680] do_el0_svc+0x24/0x38 [ 38.237113] el0_svc+0x38/0x168 [ 38.237507] el0t_64_sync_handler+0xa0/0xe8 [ 38.238034] el0t_64_sync+0x198/0x1a0 [ 38.238491] ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- There were discussions in [1] at the end of 2023 that mmap() on imported ---truncated---

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

A detailed technical summary for this CVE is being prepared.

Affected products & versions What the vendor confirmedThe version ranges the vendor confirmed as vulnerable. If your version sits inside a range here, treat yourself as exposed until you have upgraded.

CVSS breakdown How the score is builtThe industry scoring standard. It rates how the flaw is reached, what it takes to exploit, and what an attacker gains — the score is derived from those, not the other way round.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 6.6.140 / 6.12.90 / 6.18.32 or later
Fixed in 6.6.1406.12.906.18.32
Vendor patch git.kernel.org →
Recommended fix High confidence

Kernel 6.6.140 (for 6.6.x branch), 6.12.90 (for 6.7-6.12 branch), 6.18.32 (for 6.13-6.18 branch), or 7.0.9 (for 6.19+ branch)

  1. Identify the currently running kernel version using `uname -r`
  2. Determine which version range your current kernel falls into based on the affected versions: >= 2.6.39 and < 6.6.140, >= 6.7 and < 6.12.90, >= 6.13 and < 6.18.32, or >= 6.19 and < 7.0.9
  3. Upgrade to a kernel version at or above the fixed version for your branch: 6.6.140, 6.12.90, 6.18.32, or 7.0.9
  4. Reboot into the new kernel
  5. Verify the fix is applied by checking the vb2_dma_sg_mmap function contains VM_DONTEXPAND and VM_DONTDUMP flags in the VMA
Caveat Major kernel upgrades may require rebuilding out-of-tree kernel modules; ensure driver compatibility before upgrading
