In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/vmwgfx: Fix stale file descriptors on failed usercopy
A failing usercopy of the fence_rep object will lead to a stale entry in
the file descriptor table as put_unused_fd() won't release it. This
enables userland to refer to a dangling 'file' object through that still
valid file descriptor, leading to all kinds of use-after-free
exploitation scenarios.
Fix this by deferring the call to fd_install() until after the usercopy
has succeeded.
A use-after-free vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's VMware graphics driver (vmwgfx) driver. This flaw occurs during the usercopy operation for the fence_rep object. If this operation fails, it can leave a stale (dangling) file descriptor in the system's file descriptor table. This allows userland processes to reference an invalidated file object, ultimately leading to a use-after-free condition. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could result in memory corruption, system instability, or a denial of service.
Меры по смягчению последствий
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.
