drm xe

A small defensive change in the Linux kernel’s DRM subsystem — a missing NULL check in the xe_devcoredump path — was assigned CVE-2024-42081 and patched in mid‑2024; while the fix is trivial in code, the operational impact is real: a NULL assignment in kernel space can yield an immediate kernel...

The Linux kernel patch credited to CVE‑2024‑42066 fixes a subtle but important arithmetic bug in the DRM XE driver: the code now explicitly casts tbo->page_alignment to a 64‑bit unsigned type (u64) before performing a bit shift used to compute min_page_size, removing a possible integer overflow...
