CVE-2022-49963: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/i915/ttm: fix CCS handling Crucible + recent Mesa seems to sometimes hit: GEM_BUG

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/i915/ttm: fix CCS handling Crucible + recent Mesa seems to sometimes hit: GEM_BUG_ON(

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/i915/ttm: fix CCS handling Crucible + recent Mesa seems to sometimes hit: GEM_BUG_ON(num_ccs_blks > NUM_CCS_BLKS_PER_XFER) And it looks like we can also trigger this with gem_lmem_swapping, if we modify the test to use slightly larger object sizes. Looking closer it looks like we have the following issues in migrate_copy(): - We are using plain integer in various places, which we can easily overflow with a large object. - We pass the entire object size (when the src is lmem) into emit_pte() and then try to copy it, which doesn't work, since we only have a few fixed sized windows in which to map the pages and perform the copy. With an object > 8M we therefore aren't properly copying the pages. And then with an object > 64M we trigger the GEM_BUG_ON(num_ccs_blks > NUM_CCS_BLKS_PER_XFER). So it looks like our copy handling for any object > 8M (which is our CHUNK_SZ) is currently broken on DG2. Testcase: igt@gem_lmem_swapping (cherry picked from commit 8676145eb2f53a9940ff70910caf0125bd8a4bc2)

What it means for a small business

Linux is on the computers, phones or browsers your team uses every day. Turn on automatic updates and restart: most of these fixes only take effect after a restart.

How likely is an attack? The Exploit Prediction Scoring System, run by FIRST (the global association of security response teams), puts the odds of this one being exploited in the next 30 days at 0.22%, higher than 12% of CVEs. That’s low, but low isn’t zero, and the odds jump the day someone publishes an exploit. Scored October 29, 2026, updated daily.

Check your own setup

Website check: reads what your site runs from the outside (WordPress version, plugins it can see, old server software) and matches it against this database.
Server check: what your web server says about itself, and whether that version has known flaws.
