+Subject: drm/i915: fix ioremap of a user address for non-root (CVE-2008-3831)
+
+From: Matthias Hopf <mhopf@suse.de>
+
+commit 4b40893918203ee1a1f6a114316c2a19c072e9bd upstream
+
+Olaf Kirch noticed that the i915_set_status_page() function of the i915
+kernel driver calls ioremap with an address offset that is supplied by
+userspace via ioctl. The function zeroes the mapped memory via memset
+and tells the hardware about the address. Turns out that access to that
+ioctl is not restricted to root so users could probably exploit that to
+do nasty things. We haven't tried to write actual exploit code though.
+
+It only affects the Intel G33 series and newer.
