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. gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src ! gtk4paintablesink [ 38.201528] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 38.202135] WARNING: CPU: 7 PID: 2362 at drivers/gpu/drm/drm_gem.c:1144 drm_gem_mmap_obj+0x1f8/0x210 [ 38.203278] Modules linked in: rfcomm snd_seq_dummy snd_hrtimer snd_seq snd_seq_device uinput nf_conntrack_netbios_ns nf_conntrack_broadcast nft_fib_inet nft_fib_ipv4 nft_fib_ipv6 nft_fib nft_reject_inet nf_reject_ipv6 nft_reject nft_ct nft_chain_nat nf_nat nf_conntrack nf_defrag_ipv6 nf_defrag_ipv4 nf_tables qrtr bnep nls_ascii i2c_dev loop fuse dm_multipath nfnetlink brcmfmac_wcc hid_magicmouse hci_bcm4377 brcmfmac brcmutil bluetooth ecdh_generic cfg80211 ecc btrfs xor xor_neon rfkill hid_apple raid6_pq joydev aop_als apple_nvmem_spmi industrialio snd_soc_aop apple_z2 snd_soc_cs42l84 tps6598x snd_soc_tas2764 macsmc_reboot spi_nor macsmc_hwmon rtc_macsmc gpio_macsmc macsmc_power regmap_spmi macsmc_input dockchannel_hid panel_summit appledrm nvme_apple dwc3 snd_soc_macaudio drm_client_lib nvme_core phy_apple_atc hwmon apple_sart apple_dockchannel macsmc apple_rtkit_helper spmi_apple_controller aop apple_wdt mfd_core nvmem_apple_efuses pinctrl_apple_gpio apple_isp apple_dcp videobuf2_dma_sg mux_core spi_apple [ 38.203300] videobuf2_memops i2c_pasemi_platform snd_soc_apple_mca videobuf2_v4l2 videodev clk_apple_nco videobuf2_common snd_pcm_dmaengine adpdrm asahi apple_admac adpdrm_mipi drm_dma_helper pwm_apple i2c_pasemi_core drm_display_helper mc cec apple_dart ofpart apple_soc_cpufreq leds_pwm phram [ 38.217677] CPU: 7 UID: 1000 PID: 2362 Comm: gst-launch-1.0 Tainted: G W 6.17.6+ #asahi-dev PREEMPT(full) [ 38.219040] Tainted: [W]=WARN [ 38.219398] Hardware name: Apple MacBook Pro (13-inch, M2, 2022) (DT) [ 38.220213] pstate: 21400005 (nzCv daif +PAN -UAO -TCO +DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--) [ 38.221088] pc : drm_gem_mmap_obj+0x1f8/0x210 [ 38.221643] lr : drm_gem_mmap_obj+0x78/0x210 [ 38.222178] sp : ffffc0008dc678e0 [ 38.222579] x29: ffffc0008dc678e0 x28: 0000000000042a97 x27: ffff8000b701b480 [ 38.223465] x26: 00000000000000fb x25: ffffc0008dc67d20 x24: ffffc0008dc67968 [ 38.224402] x23: ffff8000e3ca5600 x22: ffff8000265b7800 x21: ffff80003000c0c0 [ 38.225279] x20: 0000000000000000 x19: ffff8000b68c5200 x18: ffffc0008dc67968 [ 38.226151] x17: 0000000000000000 x16: 0000000000000000 x15: ffffc000810a30a8 [ 38.227042] x14: 00007fff637effff x13: 00005555de91ffff x12: 00007fff63293fff [ 38.227942] x11: 0000000000000000 x10: ffff8000184ecf08 x9 : ffffc0007a1900c8 [ 38.228824] x8 : ffffc0008dc67968 x7 : 0000000000000012 x6 : ffffc0015cf1c000 [ 38.229703] x5 : ffffc0008dc676a0 x4 : ffffc00081a27dc0 x3 : 0000000000000038 [ 38.230607] x2 : 0000000000000003 x1 : 0000000000000003 x0 : 00000000100000fb [ 38.231488] Call trace: [ 38.231806] drm_gem_mmap_obj+0x1f8/0x210 (P) [ 38.232342] drm_gem_mmap+0x140/0x260 [ 38.232813] __mmap_region+0x488/0x9a0 [ 38.233277] mmap_region+0xd0/0x148 [ 38.233703] do_mmap+0x350/0x5c0 [ 38.234148] vm_mmap_pgoff+0x14c/0x200 [ 38.234612] ksys_mmap_pgoff+0x150/0x208 [ 38.235107] __arm64_sys_mmap+0x34/0x50 [ 38.235611] invoke_syscall+0x50/0x120 [ 38.236075] el0_svc_common.constprop.0+0x48/0xf0 [ 38.236680] do_el0_svc+0x24/0x38 [ 38.237113] el0_svc+0x38/0x168 [ 38.237507] el0t_64_sync_handler+0xa0/0xe8 [ 38.238034] el0t_64_sync+0x198/0x1a0 [ 38.238491] ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- There were discussions in [1] at the end of 2023 that mmap() on imported ---truncated---

Executive Summary

This vulnerability relates to the Linux kernel's media subsystem, specifically the videobuf2 framework. The issue involves the setting of virtual memory area (VMA) flags in the function vb2_dma_sg_mmap. Unlike vb2_dma_contig, which sets the VMA flags VM_DONTEXPAND and VM_DONTDUMP, vb2_dma_sg did not set these flags, leading to a warning triggered in drm_gem_mmap_obj() during the mmap() operation of an imported dma-buf from an out-of-tree Apple ISP camera capture driver.

The vulnerability was resolved by ensuring vb2_dma_sg sets the same VMA flags as vb2_dma_contig, preventing the warning and potential issues during memory mapping operations involving dma-bufs.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can cause warnings and potential instability in the Linux kernel when mmap() is called on imported dma-bufs, particularly from certain camera capture drivers like the Apple ISP driver. This could lead to unexpected behavior or crashes in applications that rely on these memory mappings, such as multimedia or video capture software.

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability can be detected by observing kernel warning messages related to drm_gem_mmap_obj during mmap() operations involving dma-buf imports, especially from the Apple ISP camera capture driver using vb2_dma_sg_memops.

You can check your system logs for warnings similar to the following:

  • dmesg | grep drm_gem_mmap_obj
  • journalctl -k | grep drm_gem_mmap_obj

These commands will help identify if the kernel is hitting the WARN_ON condition related to VM_DONTEXPAND flags during mmap operations, which indicates the presence of the vulnerability.

Mitigation Strategies

The vulnerability has been resolved by setting the appropriate VMA flags (VM_DONTEXPAND and VM_DONTDUMP) in the vb2_dma_sg_mmap function to avoid the WARN_ON condition.

Immediate mitigation steps include:

  • Update your Linux kernel to a version that includes the fix for this vulnerability.
  • Avoid using out-of-tree Apple ISP camera capture drivers that trigger this issue until the fix is applied.
  • Monitor kernel logs for related warnings to ensure the issue is resolved after updating.
