The vulnerability allows a local user to disclose sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in xe_pat_index_get_coh_mode() when handling the madvise ioctl with a crafted pat_index value. A local user can supply a bogus pat_index value to disclose sensitive information.
The unsafe access occurs from the xe->pat.table array, and the issue can still be reached in production kernels.
