CVE-2024-53084

Summary

CVE-2024-53084 is a vulnerability affecting the Linux kernel. It involves an object reference loop in the drm/imagination driver, specifically between a PVR Context and PVR VM Mappings. This loop results in resources being leaked during driver close due to outstanding VM mappings. The reference from the PVR VM Context to the VM mappings is a soft one, meaning that the freeing of outstanding mappings occurs during VM context destruction. To mitigate this issue, it's recommended to free outstanding VM mappings before destroying the associated PVR Context.
