In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm: fix race between partial drm_dev_register() failure and ioctl
If drm_dev_register() fails after registering a minor (e.g. render minor
registered, primary minor fails), userspace could have opened the first
minor and entered a drm_dev_enter() critical section. Since the
unplugged flag was never set, the ioctl proceeds while the error path
tears down device resources.
Fix this by introducing drm_dev_synchronize_unplug(), which sets the
unplugged flag and waits for the SRCU barrier, ensuring all in-flight
drm_dev_enter() critical sections complete before cleanup proceeds; call
it on the error path of drm_dev_register().
