From: Jann Horn <jannh@xxxxxxxxxx> commit de9f869616dd95e95c00bdd6b0fcd3421e8a4323 upstream. get_desc() computes a pointer into the LDT while holding a lock that protects the LDT from being freed, but then drops the lock and returns the (now potentially dangling) pointer to its caller. Fix it by giving the caller a copy of the LDT entry instead.
