What it is

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/nouveau: avoid a use-after-free when BO init fails

nouveau_bo_init() is backed by ttm_bo_init() and ferries its return code

back to the caller. On failures, ttm_bo_init() invokes the provided

destructor which should de-initialize and free the memory.

Thus, when nouveau_bo_init() returns an error the gem object has already

been released and the memory freed by nouveau_bo_del_ttm().
