Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
drm/nouveau: fix reversed error cleanup order in ucopy functions<br />
<br />
nouveau_uvmm_vm_bind_ucopy() and nouveau_exec_ucopy() place their error<br />
cleanup labels in allocation order rather than reverse allocation order.<br />
On a u_memcpya() failure for in_sync.s, the goto to err_free_ops (or<br />
err_free_pushs) frees the first allocation and then falls through to<br />
err_free_ins, which calls u_free() on args->in_sync.s.<br />
<br />
Since args->in_sync.s still holds the ERR_PTR returned by the failed<br />
u_memcpya(), and ERR_PTR values are not caught by ZERO_OR_NULL_PTR(),<br />
kvfree() proceeds to dereference it, which can result in a kernel oops.<br />
A failure for out_sync.s instead jumps to err_free_ins and skips freeing<br />
the first allocation, leading to a memory leak.<br />
<br />
Fix by swapping the cleanup label order so resources are freed in the<br />
correct reverse allocation sequence.
