CVE-2024-53116 — Linux Linux Kernel security vulnerability

Medium CVSS 5.5

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/panthor: Fix handling of partial GPU mapping of BOs This commit fixes the bug in the handling of partial mapping of the buffer objects to the GPU, which caused kernel warnings. Panthor didn't correctly handle the case where the partial mapping spanned multiple scatterlists and the mapping offset didn't point to the 1st page of starting scatterlist. The offset variable was not cleared after reaching the starting scatterlist. Following warning messages were seen.

Matched remediation archetype

General vulnerability remediation

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Confirm the affected component, deployment paths, reachable interfaces, and enabled features from inventories and configuration, without probing production destructively.
  • Compare the advisory's affected conditions with the repository lockfiles, build manifests, artifacts, and runtime inventory.
  • Identify data sensitivity, trust boundaries, and privilege level for every confirmed affected deployment.

Remediate safely

  • Apply a vendor-supported fix or remove the affected component or feature; record the selected change and its source in the repository.
  • Update direct and transitive dependency locks, generated artifacts, deployment manifests, and asset inventories together.
  • Add a regression test for the documented unsafe condition using inert inputs and preserve rollback instructions.
