Overview
About vulnerability
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/i915/gvt: fix gvt debugfs destroy
When gvt debug fs is destroyed, need to have a sane check if drm minor’s debugfs root is still available or not, otherwise in case like device remove through unbinding, drm minor’s debugfs directory has already been removed, then intel_gvt_debugfs_clean() would act upon dangling pointer like below oops.
