What it is

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

drm/nouveau: Fix gem reference leak in validate_init()

On the ttm_bo_reserve() failure and "vma not found" error paths, the

loop breaks without adding the looked-up object to any validate list,

so the reference taken by drm_gem_object_lookup() is never released;

validate_fini() only walks the spliced lists. Drop the reference

before breaking out on both paths.
