Description
An integer overflow when calculating physical offsets for sparse PMRs may result in 32-bit truncation of address computations for PMRs larger than 4 GB. This can lead to incorrect GPU MMU mappings and may allow a non-privileged user to trigger access to unintended physical memory, resulting in memory corruption or information disclosure.

Impact

An integer overflow occurs in the _PMRLogicalOffsetToPhysicalOffset function when computing physical offsets for sparse or large PMRs exceeding 4 GB, leading to incorrect GPU MMU mappings. A non‑privileged user can exploit this flaw to access unintended physical memory, potentially causing memory corruption or information disclosure. The weakness is an integer overflow (CWE‑190).

Affected Systems

Imagination Technologies Graphics Driver Development Kit; the vulnerability affects any system that uses the DDK for sparse or large PMRs larger than 4 GB. Exact version ranges are not specified, but any build handling PMRs beyond 4 GB is impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The EPSS score is below 1 % and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, indicating a low probability of widespread exploitation as of now. However, the CVE description indicates that a non‑privileged user can trigger access to unintended physical memory, implying a local attack. Based on the description, it is inferred that exploitation would require local GPU access and would function as a local privilege escalation toward memory corruption or information disclosure. No remote exploitation steps are documented. The CVSS score is 9.8, indicating critical severity.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Obtain and install the latest Imagination Technologies Graphics DDK release that addresses the PMR logical‑to‑physical offset issue, following vendor instructions to apply the fix.
  • If an immediate patch is not available, limit non‑privileged user access to GPU hardware by configuring device permissions (e.g., modify /dev/dri to deny access) or enforcing role‑based controls that prevent execution of GPU commands.
  • Deploy monitoring or logging for GPU memory access and exploitation and review logs regularly for anomalous activity.
