In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/nouveau/uvmm: fix UAF in nouveau_uvmm_sm when BO is in TTM_PL_SYSTEM nouveau_uvmm_sm() calls op_map(), which passes bo->resource through nouveau_mem() to nouveau_uvma_map(). nouveau_uvmm_vmm_map() then reads mem->mem.type. But this is only valid when bo->resource is backed by struct nouveau_mem, as is the case for VRAM and TT resources. If the BO is left in TTM_PL_SYSTEM, bo->resource is only a struct ttm_resource. Treating it as struct nouveau_mem makes the mem->mem.type read past the end of the resource, causing a KASAN: slab-use-after-free Read in nouveau_uvmm_sm report: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in nouveau_uvmm_vmm_map drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_uvmm.c:152 [inline] BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in nouveau_uvma_map drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_uvmm.c:199 [inline] BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in op_map drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_uvmm.c:849 [inline] BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in nouveau_uvmm_sm.constprop.0+0x6ab/0x900 drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_uvmm.c:903 Read of size 1 at addr ffff888127d3e3a0 by task kworker/0:1/11 CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 11 Comm: kworker/0:1 Not tainted 7.2.0 #5 PREEMPT(lazy) Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS 1.16.3-debian-1.16.3-2 04/01/2014 Workqueue: nouveau_sched_wq_2224 drm_sched_run_job_work Call Trace: __dump_stack lib/dump_stack.c:94 [inline] dump_stack_lvl+0x95/0xe0 lib/dump_stack.c:120 print_address_description mm/kasan/report.c:378 [inline] print_report+0xcb/0x5a0 mm/kasan/report.c:482 kasan_report+0xca/0x100 mm/kasan/report.c:595 nouveau_uvmm_vmm_map drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_uvmm.c:152 [inline] nouveau_uvma_map drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_uvmm.c:199 [inline] op_map drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_uvmm.c:849 [inline] nouveau_uvmm_sm.constprop.0+0x6ab/0x900 drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_uvmm.c:903 nouveau_uvmm_sm_unmap drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_uvmm.c:932 [inline] nouveau_uvmm_bind_job_run+0xd6/
