Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/xe/pf: Don't attempt to process FAST_REQ or EVENT relays Currently defined VF/PF relay actions use regular REQUEST messages only and the PF shouldn't attempt to handle FAST_REQUEST nor EVENT messages as this would result in breaking the VFPF ABI protocol and also might trigger an assert on the PF side. (cherry picked from commit 1714d360fc5ae2e0886a69e979095d9c7ff3568a) The Physical Function (PF) incorrectly attempts to process `FAST_REQUEST` or `EVENT` messages, which are not part of the defined Virtual Function to Physical Function (VFPF) Application Binary Interface (ABI) protocol.
This misprocessing can lead to a violation of the VFPF ABI protocol and may trigger an assert on the PF side, potentially resulting in a denial of service. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 5.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H).
