In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/atmel-hlcdc: fix use-after-free of drmcrtccommit after release
The atmelhlcdcplaneatomicduplicatestate() callback was copying the atmelhlcdcplane state structure without properly duplicating the drmplanestate. In particular, state->commit remained set to the old state commit, which can lead to a use-after-free in the next drmatomic_commit() call.
Fix this by calling _drmatomichelperduplicateplanestate(), which correctly clones the base drmplanestate (including the ->commit pointer).
It has been seen when closing and re-opening the device node while another DRM client (e.g. fbdev) is still attached:
