Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/msm/gem: Fix error code msm_parse_deps() The SUBMIT_ERROR() macro turns the error code negative. This extra '-' operation turns it back to positive EINVAL again. The error code is passed to ERR_PTR() and since positive values are not an IS_ERR() it eventually will lead to an oops. Delete the '-'. Patchwork: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/637625/

Affected products

Linux kernel: from 6.14 before 6.14.2 — fixed in 6.14.2
