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.

Statement

Red Hat Enterprise Linux is not vulnerable to this CVE, as it does not affect the versions or configurations of the Linux Kernel used in its distributions.
