CVE-2024-41094 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade RHEL:9 kernel-64k-modules to version 0:5.14.0-503.11.1.el9_5 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2024:9315.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-64k-modules package and not the kernel-64k-modules package as distributed by RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL:9 relevant fixed versions and status.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/fbdev-dma: Only set smem_start is enable per module option
Only export struct fb_info.fix.smem_start if that is required by the user and the memory does not come from vmalloc().
Setting struct fb_info.fix.smem_start breaks systems where DMA memory is backed by vmalloc address space. An example error is shown below.

Additionally, DMA memory is assumed to by contiguous in physical address space, which is not guaranteed by vmalloc().
Resolve this by checking the module flag drm_leak_fbdev_smem when DRM allocated the instance of struct fb_info. Fbdev-dma then only sets smem_start only if required (via FBINFO_HIDE_SMEM_START). Also guarantee that the framebuffer is not located in vmalloc address space.
