Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/xe: Return error on non-migratable faults requiring devmem Non-migratable faults that require devmem incorrectly jump to the 'out' label, which squashes the error code intended to be returned to the upper layers.
Fix this by returning -EACCES instead. (cherry picked from commit c4508edb2c723de93717272488ea65b165637eac) Non-migratable faults requiring device memory (devmem) incorrectly suppress error codes, preventing them from being returned to higher layers of the system.
This improper error handling could lead to unexpected system behavior or resource issues, potentially resulting in a denial of service. Error codes were squashed by jumping to a shared out label, masking -EACCES from upper layers.
Systems without Intel Xe are not affected. Red Hat severity: Low — CVSS 5.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H).
Weakness: CWE-252. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.
