CVE-2024-44993
Description
From CVE.org
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/v3d: Fix out-of-bounds read in `v3d_csd_job_run()` When enabling UBSAN on Raspberry Pi 5, we get the following warning: [ 387.894977] UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in drivers/gpu/drm/v3d/v3d_sched.c:320:3 [ 387.903868] index 7 is out of range for type '__u32 [7]' [ 387.909692] CPU: 0 PID: 1207 Comm: kworker/u16:2 Tainted: G WC 6.10.3-v8-16k-numa #151 [ 387.919166] Hardware name: Raspberry Pi 5 Model B Rev 1.0 (DT) [ 387.925961] Workqueue: v3d_csd drm_sched_run_job_work [gpu_sched] [ 387.932525] Call trace: [ 387.935296] dump_backtrace+0x170/0x1b8 [ 387.939403] show_stack+0x20/0x38 [ 387.942907] dump_stack_lvl+0x90/0xd0 [ 387.946785] dump_stack+0x18/0x28 [ 387.950301] __ubsan_handle_out_of_bounds+0x98/0xd0 [ 387.955383] v3d_csd_job_run+0x3a8/0x438 [v3d] [ 387.960707] drm_sched_run_job_work+0x520/0x6d0 [gpu_sched] [ 387.966862] process_one_work+0x62c/0xb48 [ 387.971296] worker_thread+0x468/0x5b0 [ 387.975317] kthread+0x1c4/0x1e0 [ 387.978818] ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20 [ 387.983014] ---[ end trace ]--- This happens because the UAPI provides only seven configuration registers and we are reading the eighth position of this u32 array. Therefore, fix the out-of-bounds read in `v3d_csd_job_run()` by accessing only seven positions on the '__u32 [7]' array. The eighth register exists indeed on V3D 7.1, but it isn't currently used. That being so, let's guarantee that it remains unused and add a note that it could be set in a future patch.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.

Understanding the Weakness (CWE)
Confidentiality
Technical Impact: Read Memory
An attacker could get secret values such as cryptographic keys, PII, memory addresses, or other information that could be used in additional attacks.
Confidentiality
Technical Impact: Bypass Protection Mechanism
Out-of-bounds memory could contain memory addresses or other information that can be used to bypass ASLR and other protection mechanisms in order to improve the reliability of exploiting a separate weakness for code execution.
Availability
Technical Impact: DoS: Crash, Exit, or Restart
An attacker could cause a segmentation fault or crash by causing memory to be read outside of the bounds of the buffer. This is especially likely when the code reads a variable amount of data and assumes that a sentinel exists to stop the read operation, such as a NUL in a string.
Other
Technical Impact: Varies by Context
The read operation could produce other undefined or unexpected results.
