In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/ttm: Account for NULL and handle pages in ttm_pool_backup
Pages in ttm_pool_backup can be NULL or backup handles
(ttm_backup_page_ptr_is_handle()), neither of which can be passed to
set_pages_array_wb() or freed. Add a dedicated WB pass before the
dma/purge loop that walks allocations using the same i += num_pages
stride, skipping NULL and handle entries, and calls set_pages_array_wb()
once per contiguous run of real pages. Apply the same NULL/handle guard
to the dma/purge loop.
Fixes the following oops:
