What to do
AI-suggested
A fix has been applied to the Linux kernel source code to address this issue. Users and administrators should update their Linux kernel to a version that includes this patch to mitigate the vulnerability.
Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's drm/xe component allowed writes to read-only virtual memory areas (VMAs) due to insufficient checks in the page fault handler. This flaw has been resolved by adding code to reject write or atomic access to read-only VMAs in the xe_pagefault_service after VMA lookup.
