Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
drm/i915: Unlink NV12 planes earlier<br />
<br />
unlink_nv12_plane() will clobber parts of the plane state<br />
potentially already set up by plane_atomic_check(), so we<br />
must make sure not to call the two in the wrong order.<br />
The problem happens when a plane previously selected as<br />
a Y plane is now configured as a normal plane by user space.<br />
plane_atomic_check() will first compute the proper plane<br />
state based on the userspace request, and unlink_nv12_plane()<br />
later clears some of the state.<br />
<br />
This used to work on account of unlink_nv12_plane() skipping<br />
the state clearing based on the plane visibility. But I removed<br />
that check, thinking it was an impossible situation. Now when<br />
that situation happens unlink_nv12_plane() will just WARN<br />
and proceed to clobber the state.<br />
<br />
Rather than reverting to the old way of doing things, I think<br />
it&#39;s more clear if we unlink the NV12 planes before we even<br />
compute the new plane state.<br />
<br />
