Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/vc4: kms: Add missing drm_crtc_commit_put

Commit 9ec03d7f1ed3 ("drm/vc4: kms: Wait on previous FIFO users before a

commit") introduced a global state for the HVS, with each FIFO storing

the current CRTC commit so that we can properly synchronize commits.

However, the refcounting was off and we thus ended up leaking the

drm_crtc_commit structure every commit. Add a drm_crtc_commit_put to

prevent the leakage.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
