In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/cirrus-qemu: Validate BAR0 size during probe
The cirrus-qemu driver relies on CIRRUS_VRAM_SIZE (4 MB) to validate
framebuffer sizes. However, during PCI probe, the driver mapped BAR0
without verifying that its size matches CIRRUS_VRAM_SIZE.
If a PCI device with a BAR0 smaller than 4 MB is bound to the driver, the mapped VRAM will be smaller than expected. Because validation checks assume 4 MB VRAM, framebuffers larger than the mapped memory can be created.
When the display plane is updated (e.g. during release),
cirrus_primary_plane_helper_atomic_update() copies the framebuffer to
VRAM using drm_fb_memcpy(). Writing past the end of the mapped I/O memory
causes a supervisor write page fault:
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffc9000389c000 ... RIP: 0010:memcpy_toio+0x7c/0xe0 arch/x86/lib/iomem.c:110 ...

Fix this by validating in cirrus_pci_probe() that the PCI BAR0 resource
is not less than CIRRUS_VRAM_SIZE, returning -ENODEV if it is less.
