Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

media: videobuf2: Set vma_flags in vb2_dma_sg_mmap

vb2_dma_contig sets VMA flags VM_DONTEXPAND and VM_DONTDUMP and I do not
see a reason why vb2_dma_sg should behave differently. This avoids
hitting `WARN_ON(!(vma->vm_flags & VM_DONTEXPAND));` in
drm_gem_mmap_obj() during mmap() of an imported dma-buf from the out of
tree Apple ISP camera capture driver which uses vb2_dma_sg_memops.

Impact

The Linux kernel had an oversight in the videobuf2 DMA scatter‑gather memory operations: the vb2_dma_sg_mmap function failed to set several virtual memory area flags (VM_DONTEXPAND and VM_DONTDUMP). This omission caused a WARN_ON to fire inside drm_gem_mmap_obj when an imported dma‑buffer was mapped, which could result in kernel warnings and, in extreme cases, a denial of service by preventing the mapping of certain buffers. The bug does not provide a path to arbitrary code execution; its impact is limited to kernel stability and availability.

Affected Systems

All Linux kernel releases built before the inclusion of the fix for vb2_dma_sg_mmap. The patch was applied in commits linked in the references and is expected to be present in kernel 6.18 and newer. Systems running kernel 6.17.x or earlier that load drivers which use the videobuf2_dma_sg memory ops, such as Apple ISP camera capture drivers, are affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 5.5. KEV does not list this issue. The flaw is local, requiring an attacker to control or influence the device driver that presents a dma-buffer. Exploitability is therefore low to moderate, with the main risk being kernel warnings and potential denial of service. Administrators should treat this as a stability issue and update the kernel promptly to mitigate it.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the Linux kernel to a version that includes the vb2_dma_sg_mmap patch (commits 1a1360264f6 and related).
  • If an immediate kernel upgrade is not possible, disable or replace drivers that rely on videobuf2_dma_sg memory ops until a safe kernel revision is available.
  • Monitor system logs for repeated WARN_ON messages from drm_gem_mmap_obj and, when such warnings occur, consider isolating affected processes or performing a reboot to restore stability.
