Summary
CVE-2024-56752 is a vulnerability affecting the Linux kernel's drm/nouveau/gr/gf100 driver. In this driver, the function gf100_gr_chan_new() fails to unlock gr->fecs.mutex properly when the call to gf100_grctx_generate() fails. This could result in a mutex deadlock, leading to system instability or even a denial of service. The issue has been addressed with appropriate unlocking of the mutex before returning an error. Additionally, this vulnerability resolved a smatch warning associated with inconsistent returns in the gf100.c file.
