Overview
About vulnerability
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
intel_th: msu: Fix vmalloced buffers
After commit f5ff79fddf0e (“dma-mapping: remove CONFIG_DMA_REMAP”) there’s a chance of DMA buffer getting allocated via vmalloc(), which messes up the mmapping code:
RIP: msc_mmap_fault [intel_th_msu] Call Trace:
__do_fault do_fault …
Fix this by accounting for vmalloc possibility.
