When the\nkernel clears pages before reallocation, the clear operation stays in\nCPU cache (dirty). GPU with coh_none can bypass CPU caches and read\nstale sensitive data directly from DRAM, potentially leaking data from\npreviously freed pages of other processes.\n\nThis aligns with the existing validation in vm_bind path\n(xe_vm_bind_ioctl_validate_bo).\n\nv2(Matthew brost)\n- Add fixes\n- Move one debug print to better place\n\nv3(Matthew Auld)\n- Should be drm/xe/uapi\n- More Cc\n\nv4(Shuicheng Lin)\n- Fix kmem leak issues by the way\n\nv5\n- Remove kmem leak because it has been merged by another patch\n\nv6\n- Remove the fix which is not related to current fix\n\nv7\n- No change\n\nv8\n- Rebase\n\nv9\n- Limit the restrictions to iGPU\n\nv10\n- No change\n\n(cherry picked from commit 016ccdb674b8c899940b3944952c96a6a490d10a)\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.","depth":"twilight","depthScore":39,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":38.5,"likelihood":0,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
