[Impact]

A race condition was found in the QXL driver in the Linux kernel. The
qxl_mode_dumb_create() function dereferences the qobj returned by the
qxl_gem_object_create_with_handle(), but the handle is the only one holding
a reference to it. This flaw allows an attacker to guess the returned
handle value and trigger a use-after-free issue, potentially leading to a
denial of service or privilege escalation.

[Fix]

2 prerequisite and 1 fix commit cherry-picked cleanly.

[Test Case]

Compile and boot tested.

[Regression Potential]

Issues could occur for users who use the qxl driver when creating a drm
gem object.

Emil Velikov (1):
  drm/qxl: remove _unlocked suffix in drm_gem_object_put_unlocked

Gerd Hoffmann (1):
  drm/qxl: allocate dumb buffers in ram

Wander Lairson Costa (1):
  drm/qxl: fix UAF on handle creation
