CVE-2026-98142CVE-2026-98142
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/cirrus-qemu: Validate BAR0 size during probe
The `cirrus-qemu` driver relies on `CIRRUS_VRAM_SIZE` (4 MB) to validate
framebuffer sizes. However, during PCI probe, the driver mapped BAR0
without verifying that its size matches `CIRRUS_VRAM_SIZE`.
If a PCI device with a BAR0 smaller than 4 MB is bound to the driver, the
mapped VRAM will be smaller than expected. Because validation checks assume
4 MB VRAM, framebuffers larger than the mapped memory can be created.
When the display plane is updated (e.g. during release),
`cirrus_primary_plane_helper_atomic_update()` copies the framebuffer to
VRAM using `drm_fb_memcpy()`. Writing past the end of the mapped I/O memory
causes a supervisor write page fault:
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffc9000389c000

RIP: 0010:memcpy_toio+0x7c/0xe0 arch/x86/lib/iomem.c:110
