AI-suggested
A patch is available and should be applied. The vendor advisory from Ubuntu confirms that this issue is fixed in updated Linux kernel packages. Users should update to the fixed kernel versions and reboot to apply the changes. No additional mitigation steps are required beyond applying the official fix.
Description
A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's drm/vc4 driver was resolved. The issue arises from improper reference count handling due to inconsistent checks of plane state framebuffer pointers during non-blocking commits, leading to potential kernel warnings and memory corruption. This flaw was fixed by correcting the logic to avoid direct access to drm_plane state and ensuring proper reference count management.
