CVE-2022-49723 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2022-49723: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/i915/reset: Fix error_state_read ptr + offset use Fix our pointer offset usage in error_state_read when there is no i915_gpu_coredump but buf offset is non-zero. This fixes a kernel page fault can happen when multiple tests are running concurrently in a loop and one is producing engine resets and consuming the i915 error_state dump while the other is forcing full GT resets. (takes a while to trigger). The dmesg call trace: [ 5590.803000] BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffffa0b0e000 [ 5590.803009] #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode [ 5590.803013] #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page [ 5590.803016] PGD 5814067 P4D 5814067 PUD 5815063 PMD 109de4067 PTE 0 [ 5590.803022] Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI [ 5590.803026] CPU: 5 PID: 13656 Comm: i915_hangman Tainted: G U 5.17.0-rc5-ups69-guc-err-capt-rev6+ #136 [ 5590.803033] Hardware name: Intel Corporation Alder Lake Client Platform/AlderLake-M LP4x RVP, BIOS ADLPFWI1.R00. 3031.A02.2201171222 01/17/2022 [ 5590.803039] RIP: 0010:memcpy_erms+0x6/0x10 [ 5590.803045] Code: fe ff ff cc eb 1e 0f 1f 00 48 89 f8 48 89 d1 48 c1 e9 03 83 e2 07 f3 48 a5 89 d1 f3 a4 c3 66 0f 1f 44 00 00 48 89 f8 48 89 d1 <f3> a4 c3 0f 1f 80 00 00 00 00 48 89 f8 48 83 fa 20 72 7e 40 38 fe [ 5590.803054] RSP: 0018:ffffc90003a8fdf0 EFLAGS: 00010282 [ 5590.803057] RAX: ffff888107ee9000 RBX: ffff888108cb1a00 RCX: 0000000000000f8f [ 5590.803061] RDX: 0000000000001000 RSI: ffffffffa0b0e000 RDI: ffff888107ee9071 [ 5590.803065] RBP: 0000000000000000 R08: 0000000000000001 R09: 0000000000000001 [ 5590.803069] R10: 0000000000000001 R11: 0000000000000002 R12: 0000000000000019 [ 5590.803073] R13: 0000000000174fff R14: 0000000000001000 R15: ffff888107ee9000 [ 5590.803077] FS: 00007f62a99bee80(0000) GS:ffff88849f880000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 5590.803082] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 5590.803085] CR2: ffffffffa0b0e000 CR3: 000000010a1a8004 CR4: 0000000000770ee0 [ 5590.803089] PKRU: 55555554 [ 5590.803091] Call Trace: [ 5590.803093] <TASK> [ 5590.803096] error_state_read+0xa1/0xd0 [i915] [ 5590.803175] kernfs_fop_read_iter+0xb2/0x1b0 [ 5590.803180] new_sync_read+0x116/0x1a0 [ 5590.803185] vfs_read+0x114/0x1b0 [ 5590.803189] ksys_read+0x63/0xe0 [ 5590.803193] do_syscall_64+0x38/0xc0 [ 5590.803197] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae [ 5590.803201] RIP: 0033:0x7f62aaea5912 [ 5590.803204] Code: c0 e9 b2 fe ff ff 50 48 8d 3d 5a b9 0c 00 e8 05 19 02 00 0f 1f 44 00 00 f3 0f 1e fa 64 8b 04 25 18 00 00 00 85 c0 75 10 0f 05 <48> 3d 00 f0 ff ff 77 56 c3 0f 1f 44 00 00 48 83 ec 28 48 89 54 24 [ 5590.803213] RSP: 002b:00007fff5b659ae8 EFLAGS: 00000246 ORIG_RAX: 0000000000000000 [ 5590.803218] RAX: ffffffffffffffda RBX: 0000000000100000 RCX: 00007f62aaea5912 [ 5590.803221] RDX: 000000000008b000 RSI: 00007f62a8c4000f RDI: 0000000000000006 [ 5590.803225] RBP: 00007f62a8bcb00f R08: 0000000000200010 R09: 0000000000101000 [ 5590.803229] R10: 0000000000000001 R11: 0000000000000246 R12: 0000000000000006 [ 5590.803233] R13: 0000000000075000 R14: 00007f62a8acb010 R15: 0000000000200000 [ 5590.803238] </TASK> [ 5590.803240] Modules linked in: i915 ttm drm_buddy drm_dp_helper drm_kms_helper syscopyarea sysfillrect sysimgblt fb_sys_fops prime_numbers nfnetlink br_netfilter overlay mei_pxp mei_hdcp x86_pkg_temp_thermal coretemp kvm_intel snd_hda_codec_hdmi snd_hda_intel ---truncated---

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2022-49723

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2022-49723 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).

Exploitability Analysis for CVE-2022-49723

No exploitability data is available for CVE-2022-49723.

Understanding AC and PR

A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.

Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.

Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.

CVSS Score Breakdown Chart

Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2022-49723, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.

CIA Impact Analysis

Below is the Impact Analysis for CVE-2022-49723, showing how Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability might be affected if the vulnerability is exploited. Higher values usually signal greater potential damage.

  • Confidentiality: None
