CVE-2024-35950

drm/client: Fully protect modes[] with dev->mode_config.mutex

Published May 20, 2024 CVSS 3.1 · 7.8 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/client: Fully protect modes[] with dev->mode_config.mutex

The modes[] array contains pointers to modes on the connectors'
mode lists, which are protected by dev->mode_config.mutex.
Thus we need to extend modes[] the same protection or by the
time we use it the elements may already be pointing to
freed/reused memory.
