Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions prior to 6.1.0-rc8+ #15

Description The Linux kernel contains a flaw in the drm/i915/gvt subsystem related to the destruction of gvt debugfs. Specifically, a missing sanity check when destroying the gvt debugfs can lead to a null pointer dereference if the drm minor's debugfs root is no longer available, such as during device removal. This can result in a kernel oops.

Recommendations Update to a version newer than 6.1.0-rc8+ #15.
