From 598781d71119827b454fd75d46f84755bca6f0c6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Hellstrom Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2012 18:54:21 +0100 Subject: drm: Fix authentication kernel crash If the master tries to authenticate a client using drm_authmagic and that client has already closed its drm file descriptor, either wilfully or because it was terminated, the call to drm_authmagic will dereference a stale pointer into kmalloc'ed memory and corrupt it. Typically this results in a hard system hang. This patch fixes that problem by removing any authentication tokens (struct drm_magic_entry) open for a file descriptor when that file descriptor is closed.
