Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
udmabuf: Set ubuf->sg = NULL if the creation of sg table fails<br />
<br />
When userspace tries to map the dmabuf and if for some reason<br />
(e.g. OOM) the creation of the sg table fails, ubuf->sg needs to be<br />
set to NULL. Otherwise, when the userspace subsequently closes the<br />
dmabuf fd, we&#39;d try to erroneously free the invalid sg table from<br />
release_udmabuf resulting in the following crash reported by syzbot:<br />
<br />
general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address<br />
