Description
In the Linux kernel 4.14 longterm through 4.14.165 and 4.19 longterm through 4.19.96 (and 5.x before 5.2), there is a use-after-free (write) in the i915_ppgtt_close function in drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_gtt.c, aka CID-7dc40713618c. This is related to i915_gem_context_destroy_ioctl in drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_context.c.
A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s GPU driver functionality when destroying GEM context. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system or potentially escalate their privileges.
