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

drm/i915: Fix potential overflow of shmem scatterlist length

When a scatterlists table of a GEM shmem object of size 4 GB or more is
populated with pages allocated from a folio, unsigned int .length
attribute of a scatterlist may get overflowed if total byte length of
pages allocated to that single scatterlist happens to reach or cross the
4GB limit. As a consequence, users of the object may suffer from hitting
unexpected, premature end of the object's backing pages.

That issue was apprehended by the author of a change that introduced it,
and potential risk even annotated with a comment, but then never addressed.

When adding folio pages to a scatterlist table, take care of byte length
of any single scatterlist not exceeding max_segment.
