Details

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

drm/msm: Fix GEM free for imported dma-bufs

Imported dma-bufs also have obj->resv != &obj->_resv. So we should check both this condition in addition to flags for handling the _NO_SHARE case.

Fixes this splat that was reported with IRIS video playback:

Detection rules are retrieved from Rulezet.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
