The vulnerability has been fixed in the Linux kernel with the commits identified. Users and administrators should update to the fixed kernel versions containing these commits to remediate the issue. No additional mitigation steps are indicated.
Description
A use-after-free vulnerability was identified and fixed in the Linux kernel's Adreno GPU driver (a6xx_gpu_init function). The issue occurs because the a6xx_destroy() function frees the a6xx_gpu structure, leaving a dangling pointer in adreno_gpu. The fix preserves the error code before freeing memory to prevent use-after-free on error paths.
