CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability affects the Linux kernel's DRM subsystem, specifically in the i915 graphics driver, where an error during the processing of user extensions can lead to the unintended exposure of the siblings[] array. This could potentially allow unauthorized access to sensitive data related to graphics contexts. Organizations using affected Linux distributions, particularly those leveraging Intel graphics, should prioritize applying the relevant patches to mitigate the risk of data leakage.
Original NVD Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/i915/gem: Do not leak siblings[] on proto context error After a successful BALANCE/PARALLEL_SUBMIT extension on context creation, error during processing of next user extension leaks the siblings[] array. Fix that. Discovered using AI-assisted static analysis confirmed by Intel Product Security. (cherry picked from commit aa65e0a4b51b3b54b53e4142aaa2d997aa1061ff)
