In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/buddy: Prevent BUG_ON by validating rounded allocation
When DRM_BUDDY_CONTIGUOUS_ALLOCATION is set, the requested size is
rounded up to the next power-of-two via roundup_pow_of_two().
Similarly, for non-contiguous allocations with large min_block_size,
the size is aligned up via round_up(). Both operations can produce a
rounded size that exceeds mm->size, which later triggers
BUG_ON(order > mm->max_order).
Example scenarios:
- 9G CONTIGUOUS allocation on 10G VRAM memory:
roundup_pow_of_two(9G) = 16G > 10G
- 9G allocation with 8G min_block_size on 10G VRAM memory:
round_up(9G, 8G) = 16G > 10G
Fix this by checking the rounded size against mm->size. For
non-contiguous or range allocations where size > mm->size is invalid,
return -EINVAL immediately. For contiguous allocations without range
restrictions, allow the request to fall through to the existing
__alloc_contig_try_harder() fallback.
This ensures invalid user input returns an error or uses the fallback
path instead of hitting BUG_ON.
