Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/gem: fix race between change_handle and handle_delete
drm_gem_change_handle_ioctl leaves the old handle live in the IDR
during the window between spin_unlock(table_lock) and the final
spin_lock(table_lock). A concurrent drm_gem_handle_delete on the old
handle succeeds in this window, decrements handle_count to 0, and frees
the GEM object while the new handle's IDR entry still references it.
NULL the old handle's IDR entry before dropping table_lock so that any
concurrent GEM_CLOSE on the old handle sees NULL and returns -EINVAL.
Restore the old entry on the prime-bookkeeping error path.
