In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
udmabuf: Set ubuf->sg = NULL if the creation of sg table fails
When userspace tries to map the dmabuf and if for some reason
(e.g. OOM) the creation of the sg table fails, ubuf->sg needs to be
set to NULL. Otherwise, when the userspace subsequently closes the
dmabuf fd, we'd try to erroneously free the invalid sg table from
release_udmabuf resulting in the following crash reported by syzbot:
