Description
A vulnerability was found in the Linux Kernel's Intel graphics driver (drm/i915), where a use-after-free (UAF) condition can occur in the gem_context_register() function. When this function is called, it makes a graphics context visible to the userspace, which allows a separate thread to invoke the I915_GEM_CONTEXT_DESTROY ioctl and free the context while it is still in use.
