Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
accel/rocket: fix UAF via dangling GEM handle in create_bo<br />
<br />
rocket_ioctl_create_bo() inserts a GEM handle into the file&#39;s IDR via<br />
drm_gem_handle_create() early on, then performs several operations that<br />
can fail (sgt allocation, drm_mm insert, iommu_map). If any fail after<br />
the handle is live, the error path calls drm_gem_shmem_object_free()<br />
which kfree&#39;s the object without removing the handle from the IDR.<br />
<br />
This leaves a dangling handle pointing to freed slab memory. Any<br />
subsequent ioctl using that handle (PREP_BO, FINI_BO, SUBMIT) calls<br />
drm_gem_object_lookup() and dereferences freed memory (UAF).<br />
<br />
Fix by moving drm_gem_handle_create() to after all fallible operations<br />
succeed, matching the pattern used by panfrost, lima, and etnaviv.<br />
<br />
Also fix drm_mm_insert_node_generic() whose return value was silently<br />
overwritten by iommu_map_sgtable() on the next line. Add the missing<br />
error check.<br />
