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

drm/xe/guc: Fix buffer overflow in steered register list allocation

The size calculation for the steered register extarray uses only the

geometry DSS mask (g_dss_mask) to determine the number of entries to

allocate:

total = bitmap_weight(gt->fuse_topo.g_dss_mask, ...) * steer_reg_num;

However, the filling loop uses for_each_dss_steering(), which iterates

over for_each_dss(), defined as the union of g_dss_mask and c_dss_mask

(geometry + compute DSS). On platforms with compute-only DSS bits, the

loop writes past the allocated buffer, corrupting adjacent slab objects.

This manifests as list_del corruption and SLUB redzone overwrites during

drm_managed_release on device unbind, since the overflow corrupts the

drmres list_head of neighboring allocations.

Fix by computing the allocation size using the union of both DSS masks,

matching the iteration pattern of for_each_dss_steering().

v2:

- use bitmap_weighted_or() (Zhanjun)

(cherry picked from commit 0a78a44f4901aa6c9263e66be7fce02282f1109f)
