NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream perf package and not the perf package as distributed by RHEL.

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

drm/vc4: Shut down BO cache timer before teardown

The BO cache timer callback schedules time_work, and time_work can rearm the timer through vc4_bo_cache_free_old().

vc4_bo_cache_destroy() deletes the timer and then cancels the work, which does not break that cycle: the work being cancelled can rearm the timer, and the timer then queues work again after teardown.

Use timer_shutdown_sync() instead, so the timer cannot be rearmed and the cycle ends with cancel_work_sync().
