What to do

Compare your installed product and version with the affected versions above. A matching product name alone does not confirm exposure.

No structured fix or remediation guidance is available here. Check the full source description and vendor’s latest advisory for a patch or workaround; do not assume another version is safe.

Original source description

Read the full publisher description

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

drm/nouveau: don't bump pin count on failed re-pin in nouveau_bo_pin_locked()

nouveau_bo_pin_locked() checks whether an already pinned BO is in a memory domain compatible with a new pin request. When the domains are incompatible, it sets -EBUSY but still calls ttm_bo_pin() before returning.

Callers treat a failed nouveau_bo_pin() as not having acquired a new pin, so the extra pin count is never decreased by a matching unpin. This triggers the warning in ttm_bo_release():

WARN_ON_ONCE(bo->pin_count);

Found when fuzzing the nouveau driver with a modified Syzkaller:
