Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe/dma-buf: handle empty bo and UAF races
There look to be some nasty races here when triggering the
invalidate_mappings hook:
1) We do xe_bo_alloc() followed by the attach, before the actual full bo
init step in xe_dma_buf_init_obj(). However the bo is visible on the
attachments list after the attach. This is bad since exporter driver,
say amdgpu, can at any time call back into our invalidate_mappings hook,
with an empty/bogus bo, leading to potential bugs/crashes.
2) Similar to 1) but here we get a UAF, when the invalidate_mappings
hook is triggered. For example, we get as far as xe_bo_init_locked()
but this fails in some way. But here the bo will be freed on error, but
we still have it attached from dma-buf pov, so if the
invalidate_mappings is now triggered then the bo we access is gone and
we trigger UAF and more bugs/crashes.
To fix this, move the attach step until after we ac
