CVE-2021-47338CVE-2021-47338
linux / linux_kernel
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbmem: Do not delete the mode that is still in use
The execution of fb_delete_videomode() is not based on the result of the
previous fbcon_mode_deleted(). As a result, the mode is directly deleted,
regardless of whether it is still in use, which may cause UAF.
