Overview

CVE-2024-26911 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on April 17, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

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

drm/buddy: Fix alloc_range() error handling code

Few users have observed display corruption when they boot

the machine to KDE Plasma or playing games. We have root

caused the problem that whenever alloc_range() couldn't

find the required memory blocks the function was returning

SUCCESS in some of the corner cases.

The right approach would be if the total allocated size

is less than the required size, the function should

return -ENOSPC.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
