Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
drm: Set old handle to NULL before prime swap in change_handle<br />
<br />
There was a potential race condition in change_handle. The ioctl<br />
briefly had a single object with two idr entries; a concurrent<br />
gem_close could delete the object and remove one of the handles<br />
while leaving the other one dangling, which could subsequently<br />
be dereferenced for a use-after-free.<br />
<br />
To fix this, do the same dance that gem_close itself does.<br />
(f6cd7daecff5 drm: Release driver references to handle before making it available again)<br />
First idr_replace the old handle to NULL. Later, if the prime<br />
operations are successful, actually close it.<br />
<br />
create_tail required a similar dance to avoid a similar problem.<br />
(bd46cece51a3 drm/gem: Fix race in drm_gem_handle_create_tail())<br />
It idr_allocs the new handle with NULL, then swaps in the correct<br />
object later to avoid races. We don&#39;t need to do that here, since<br />
the only operations that could race are drm_prime, and<br />
change_handle holds the prime lock for the entire duration.<br />
