CVE-2025-38731

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

drm/xe: Fix vm_bind_ioctl double free bug

If the argument check during an array bind fails, the bind_ops are freed twice as seen below. Fix this by setting bind_ops to NULL after freeing.

(cherry picked from commit a01b704527c28a2fd43a17a85f8996b75ec8492a)

This vulnerability can in theory be triggered by a non-privileged user as the primary requirements are:

1. Access to GPU devices (usually possible if the user is part of the video/render groups);
2. The ability to interface with DRM ioctl operations (a standard GPU programming interface available to non-privileged users);
3. Execute GPU virtual memory operations (creating address spaces and submitting bind operations).
