Description
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe/guc: Fix buffer overflow in steered register list allocation
The size calculation for the steered register extarray uses only the
geometry DSS mask (g_dss_mask) to determine the number of entries to
allocate:
total = bitmap_weight(gt->fuse_topo.g_dss_mask, ...) * steer_reg_num;
However, the filling loop uses for_each_dss_steering(), which iterates
over for_each_dss(), defined as the union of g_dss_mask and c_dss_mask
(geometry + compute DSS). On platforms with compute-only DSS bits, the
loop writes past the allocated buffer, corrupting adjacent slab objects.
This manifests as list_del corruption and SLUB redzone overwrites during
drm_managed_release on device unbind, since the overflow corrupts the
drmres list_head of neighboring allocations.
Fix by computing the allocation size using the union of both DSS masks,
matching the iteration pattern of for_each_dss_steering().

v2:
- use bitmap_weighted_or() (Zhanjun)
