## What is CVE-2024-44993?

CVE-2024-44993 is a high-severity memory corruption vulnerability in Linux kernel, published on 4 Sep 2024. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

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

drm/v3d: Fix out-of-bounds read in `v3d_csd_job_run()`

When enabling UBSAN on Raspberry Pi 5, we get the following warning:

[  387.894977] UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in drivers/gpu/drm/v3d/v3d_sched.c:320:3

This happens because the UAPI provides only seven configuration
registers and we are reading the eighth position of this u32 array.

Therefore, fix the out-of-bounds read in `v3d_csd_job_run()` by
accessing only seven positions on the '__u32 [7]' array. The eighth
register exists indeed on V3D 7.1, but it isn't currently used. That
being so, let's guarantee that it remains unused and add a note that it
could be set in a future patch.

Weakness: CWE-125 (Out-of-bounds Read)

## Fix prompt for AI coding agents

```text
Check this codebase for CVE-2024-44993 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2024-44993 is a high-severity memory corruption vulnerability in Linux kernel, published on 4 Sep 2024. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-44993 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
