CVE-2024-50037 (Moderate severity, published 2024-10-20)
CVSS score: 5.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CWE: CWE-690
Description: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/fbdev-dma: Only cleanup deferred I/O if necessary

Commit 5a498d4d06d6 ("drm/fbdev-dma: Only install deferred I/O if
necessary") initializes deferred I/O only if it is used.
drm_fbdev_dma_fb_destroy() however calls fb_deferred_io_cleanup()
unconditionally with struct fb_info.fbdefio == NULL. KASAN with the
out-of-tree Apple silicon display driver posts following warning from
__flush_work() of a random struct work_struct instead of the expected
NULL pointer derefs.
