[PATCH] vmwgfx: Fix assignment in vmw_framebuffer_create_handle

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The assignment of handle in vmw_framebuffer_create_handle doesn't actually do anything useful and is incorrectly assigning an integer value to a pointer argument. It appears that this is a typo and should be dereferencing handle rather than assigning to it directly. This fixes a bug where an undefined handle value is potentially returned to user-space.

Thomas and Jakob have said that a correct fix involves returning the correct user_handle, but also requires changes to userspace. This patch is therefore a temporary fix only. Because it corrects an undefined handle value being returned to userspace, this should also be merged for stable kernels.
