The attacker cannot create these host build and hardware conditions.\nPR:L - NOUVEAU_SVM_INIT and NOUVEAU_SVM_BIND are registered with DRM_RENDER_ALLOW and neither DRM_ROOT_ONLY nor DRM_AUTH; an ordinary user able to open the Nouveau render node can initialize SVM and migrate their own VMA without capabilities.\nUI:N - The attacking process itself issues SVM_INIT and SVM_BIND and accesses its migrated VMA to trigger migration or readback; no victim must mount, open, or approve anything.\nS:U - nouveau_dmem_page_addr() supplies an invalid LOCAL_FB VRAM address to the same host\u0027s Nouveau copy engine and VMM; the code demonstrates a VRAM BO boundary violation, not a VM escape or IOMMU/DMA boundary bypass.\nC:H - nouveau_pfns_map() installs the out-of-BO VRAM PFN in the caller\u0027s SVM VMM, and a CPU fault invokes nouveau_dmem_migrate_to_ram() and nouveau_dmem_copy_folio() to copy from that physical VRAM address into a user page, permitting disclosure from overlapping VRAM allocations.\nI:H - nouveau_dmem_migrate_copy_one() passes the out-of-BO paddr to nvc0b5_migrate_copy() as a physical LOCAL_FB destination and sets a writable PFN for writable VMAs, enabling attacker-controlled writes into other VRAM allocations.\nA:H - The unchecked nvc0b5_migrate_copy() physical destination can overwrite active VRAM BOs or fall beyond installed VRAM, faulting or hanging the GPU and denying graphics and compute service to all clients."
