"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ndrm/fb-helper: Fix out-of-bounds access\n\nClip memory range to screen-buffer size to avoid out-of-bounds access\nin fbdev deferred I/O's damage handling.\n\nFbdev's deferred I/O can only track pages. From the range of pages, the\ndamage handler computes the clipping rectangle for the display update.\nIf the fbdev screen buffer ends near the beginning of a page, that page\ncould contain more scanlines. The damage handler would then track these\nnon-existing scanlines as dirty and provoke an out-of-bounds access\nduring the screen update. Hence, clip the maximum memory range to the\nsize of the screen buffer.\n\nWhile at it, rename the variables min/max to min_off/max_off in\ndrm_fb_helper_deferred_io(). This avoids confusion with the macros of\nthe same name."

"value": "AV:L - The bug is reached by opening /dev/fbN, mmap'ing the fbdev shadow buffer, and dirtying pages so fb_deferred_io_work calls drm_fb_helper_deferred_io(); that is a local device/syscall path with no network or adjacent-protocol entry.\nAC:L - On affected shadow-fbdev configurations whose screen_size is not page-aligned (common modes such as 1366x768x32), writing the last mapped page and flushing deferred I/O (or fsync) reliably enlarges the damage clip past the buffer; no race or attacker-uncontrollable layout is required.\nPR:L - fb_open() has no capability check; access is DAC on /dev/fbN (typically 660 root:video), which ordinary desktop, Android, and embedded graphics users hold via the video group—basic local privileges, not real root.\nUI:N - The attacker opens the framebuffer, mmaps it, and dirties the last page themselves; no separate victim action is required.\nS:U - Corruption stays in host kernel vmalloc/GEM memory under the same OS authority; this is not a VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or other cross-boundary impact.\nC:H - drm_fb_helper_damage_blit_real() reads past the vzalloc'd shadow buffer into adjacent kernel memory (often kilobytes for a full extra scanline), an out-of-bounds read well beyond a few bytes that can disclose neighboring contents into the blit/display path.\nI:H - The same oversized clip drives iosys_map_memcpy_to() past the logical framebuffer into memory beyond the page-aligned GEM allocation (e.g. ~3KB past the BO for 1366x768x32), a kernel out-of-bounds write exploitable for heap corruption/control-flow impact.\nA:H - Accesses past the shadow/GEM allocations into unmapped vmalloc/guard regions can oops or panic the kernel, so availability impact is High."
