AI-suggested
A patch addressing this vulnerability is available and should be applied by upgrading to the fixed Linux kernel versions 6.17.0-1009.9~24.04.2 or later as provided by the vendor. The Ubuntu security advisory USN-8094-1 confirms the fix. No additional mitigation steps are required beyond applying the official update.
Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's accel/ivpu subsystem was resolved that could cause a page fault due to improper handling of buffer objects (BO) during creation failures. Specifically, when drm_gem_shmem_create() fails, a buffer object may be left on an internal list without proper cleanup, potentially leading to system instability or crashes. This issue affects certain versions of the linux-hwe-edge kernel prior to 6.17.0-1009.9~24.04.2 and related builds. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 7.8, indicating a high severity impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. A patch is available and has been incorporated in updated kernel releases.
