DescriptionCVE.org

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/ttm: fix undefined behavior in bit shift for TTM_TT_FLAG_PRIV_POPULATED

Shifting signed 32-bit value by 31 bits is undefined, so changing significant bit to unsigned. The UBSAN warning calltrace like below:

AnalysisAI

A undefined behavior vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel's TTM (Translation Table Maps) memory management subsystem where shifting a signed 32-bit value by 31 bits during bit flag operations causes undefined behavior. This affects all Linux kernel versions using the affected TTM code path, and while the vulnerability itself is difficult to exploit directly, it can be triggered by local attackers with low privileges during GPU memory operations, resulting in denial of service through kernel panic or undefined system behavior. The EPSS score of 0.01% and lack of known public exploits indicate this is a low real-world exploitation probability, but the CVSS 5.5 score reflects the availability impact when triggered.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability resides in the drm/ttm subsystem (Direct Rendering Manager / Translation Table Maps) within the Linux kernel header file ttm_tt.h at line 122, where the TTM_TT_FLAG_PRIV_POPULATED flag definition uses a left bit shift operation on a signed 32-bit integer. Specifically, the macro shifts the value 1 left by 31 positions (1 << 31), which in signed 32-bit arithmetic exceeds the representable range and triggers undefined behavior according to the C standard and UBSAN (Undefined Behavior Sanitizer) detection. The affected CPE (cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel) indicates all Linux kernel installations using TTM are potentially affected. While no specific CWE is listed in the advisory, this falls under improper integer handling and type safety violations, commonly related to CWE-190 (Integer Overflow) or CWE-197 (Numeric Truncation Error). The fix involves changing the bit shift operand from a signed int to unsigned, allowing the operation to proceed safely.

RemediationAI

Update the Linux kernel to a patched version released after the fix commits referenced in kernel.org stable (commits 2ff0309b73d86e8591881ac035af06e01c112e89, 387659939c00156f8d6bab0fbc55b4eaf2b6bc5b, 6528971fdce0dfc0a28fec42c151a1eccdabadf5, or c4079a34c0adef9f35a16783fb13a9084406f96d). Most Linux distributions have backported this fix into their stable kernel branches; check your distribution's security advisories for the specific kernel version. For immediate systems unable to patch, disable GPU/DRM functionality if not required, or restrict local user access to prevent triggering the code path. The fix itself is minimal (changing signed int to unsigned in the bit shift operation), so patch application is straightforward with no compatibility concerns.
