Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> drm/atmel-hlcdc: fix use-after-free of drm_crtc_commit after release<br /> <br /> The atmel_hlcdc_plane_atomic_duplicate_state() callback was copying<br /> the atmel_hlcdc_plane state structure without properly duplicating the<br /> drm_plane_state. In particular, state-&gt;commit remained set to the old<br /> state commit, which can lead to a use-after-free in the next<br /> drm_atomic_commit() call.<br /> <br /> Fix this by calling<br /> __drm_atomic_helper_duplicate_plane_state(), which correctly clones<br /> the base drm_plane_state (including the -&gt;commit pointer).<br /> <br /> It has been seen when closing and re-opening the device node while<br /> another DRM client (e.g. fbdev) is still attached:<br /> <br /> =============================================================================<br /> BUG kmalloc-64 (Not tainted): Poison overwritten<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> 0xc611b344-0xc611b344 @offset=836.
