GART mapping. In the process the attacker has to be carefull to not overwritte any sensitive area of the GART table, like ring or IB gart entry as it will more then likely lead to GPU lockup. Bottom line is that i think it's very hard to use this flaw to get system ram access but in theory one can achieve so. Side note: I am not aware of anyone ever using the GPU as an attack vector, nevertheless we take great care in the opensource driver to try to detect and forbid malicious use of GPU. I don't think the closed source driver are as cautious as we are. Signed-off-by: Jerome Glisse Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie -½άπ—
