Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
The issue concerns the validation of passed-in drm syncobj handles in the timestamp extension of the Linux kernel's drm/v3d component. If userspace provides an unknown or invalid handle anywhere in the handle array, the rest of the driver may not handle it well. The fix involves checking if the handle was looked up successfully, and if not, failing the extension by jumping into the existing unwind.
Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
