[PATCH] drm/vmwgfx: Fix possible null pointer derefence with invalid contexts

From: Zack Rusin
Date: Wed Jan 10 2024 - 15:03:05 EST


vmw_context_cotable can return either an error or a null pointer and its
usage sometimes went unchecked. Subsequent code would then try to access
either a null pointer or an error value.

The invalid dereferences were only possible with malformed userspace
apps which never properly initialized the rendering contexts.

Check the results of vmw_context_cotable to fix the invalid derefs.

Thanks:
ziming zhang(@ezrak1e) from Ant Group Light-Year Security Lab
who was the first person to discover it.
Niels De Graef who reported it and helped to track down the poc.
