This skips kfree(madvise_range.vmas), leaking the VMA array on\neach failed ioctl.\n\nJump to free_vmas instead, matching the other validation failure paths\nafter get_vmas() has succeeded.\n\n(cherry picked from commit c3a1c3579b1250060da73507a4acef712974c78a)"}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_vm_madvise.c"],"versions":[{"version":"4f39a194d41e6b8cb61a91a7bb01b17be59a7d73","lessThan":"bf126747e7bff55e5ba0b1ec10fc5fce99feaed9","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"4f39a194d41e6b8cb61a91a7bb01b17be59a7d73","lessThan":"14abbed336a2d1bbd726c25d148d2ec0ff928073","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_vm_madvise.c"],"versions":[{"version":"7.1","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"7.1","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.1.5","lessThanOrEqual":"7.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.2","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"7.1","versionEndExcluding":"7.1.5"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"7.1","versionEndExcluding":"7.2"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bf126747e7bff55e5ba0b1ec10fc5fce99feaed9"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/14abbed336a2d1bbd726c25d148d2ec0ff928073"}],"title":"drm/xe: free madvise VMA array on L2 flush failure","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
