double safe's good; turning it into a CVE not so much :(
CVE-2023-52822, CVE-2023-52824 and CVE-2023-52820, originally from the same patch
series, seem to be the exact same case.

CVE-2023-52822:

	int vmw_surface_define_ioctl(struct drm_device *dev, void *data,
				     struct drm_file *file_priv)
	{
	...
		if (num_sizes > DRM_VMW_MAX_SURFACE_FACES * DRM_VMW_MAX_MIP_LEVELS ||
		    num_sizes == 0)
			return -EINVAL;
	...
		metadata->num_sizes = num_sizes;
		metadata->sizes =
			memdup_user((struct drm_vmw_size __user *)(unsigned long)
				    req->size_addr,
				    sizeof(*metadata->sizes) * metadata->num_sizes);
	}

CVE-2023-52824 (here the check is in the immediately preceeding statement, could it
be any more obvious?):

	long watch_queue_set_filter(struct pipe_inode_info *pipe,
				    struct watch_notification_filter __user *_filter)
	{
		if (filter.nr_filters == 0 ||
		    filter.nr_filters > 16 ||
		    filter.__reserved != 0)
			return -EINVAL;

		tf = memdup_user(_filter->filters, filter.nr_filters * sizeof(*tf));
	}


CVE-2023-52820 is a little less obvious to be safe, but I believe it is:

	int drm_mode_create_lease_ioctl(struct drm_device *dev,
					void *data, struct drm_file *lessor_priv)
	{
	...
			object_ids = memdup_user(u64_to_user_ptr(cl->object_ids),
						 array_size(object_count, sizeof(__u32)));

	array_size() will safely multiply object_count * 4 and return SIZE_MAX on
	overflow, making the kmalloc inside memdup_user cleanly fail with -ENOMEM.

could you check and revoke all the above as well?
