In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/vmwgfx: enforce cursor size limits for MOB cursors
vmw_cursor_plane_atomic_check() bounds cursor width and height only
on the legacy update path; the SVGA_CAP2_CURSOR_MOB path -- the
default on modern hosts -- accepts any size. When the requested size
exceeds SVGA_REG_CURSOR_MAX_DIMENSION or SVGA_REG_MOB_MAX_SIZE,
vmw_cursor_mob_get() returns -EINVAL and leaves vps->cursor.mob NULL.
Its return value is then discarded in vmw_cursor_plane_prepare_fb(),
so the subsequent vmw_cursor_update_mob() calls
vmw_bo_map_and_cache(NULL) and oopses inside
vmw_bo_map_and_cache_size() on the tbo.base.size load.
Reachable from any DRM master via DRM_IOCTL_MODE_CURSOR2 with a
sufficiently large width or height (e.g. cursor_max_dim + 1).
Reject oversized cursors in atomic_check for both MOB-backed cursor
update types. The MOB byte-size limit only applies to the
SVGA_CAP2_CURSOR_MOB path (vmw_cursor_mob_size() returns 0 for
GB_ONLY); compute the required MOB size in 64-bit to avoid overflow
when very large dimensions are requested.
In prepare_fb only call vmw_cursor_mob_get()/_map() for
VMW_CURSOR_UPDATE_MOB -- the GB_ONLY path uses bo->map.virtual
directly and would otherwise be silently downgraded to NONE on hosts
without SVGA_CAP2_CURSOR_MOB (where vmw_cursor_mob_get() always
returns -EINVAL). Degrade the update to NONE if vmw_cursor_mob_get()
or vmw_cursor_mob_map() fails so the update path does not run with a
NULL backing MOB.
