Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu/vcn4: avoid rereading IB param length Reuse the parameter length returned by vcn_v4_0_enc_find_ib_param() instead of rereading it from the IB.
This avoids a potential TOCTOU issue if the IB contents change between reads. (cherry picked from commit dbb02b4755f8c1f3773263f2d779872c1c0c073a) Specifically, within the `drm/amdgpu/vcn4` component, a time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTOU) vulnerability exists.
This occurs because the system re-reads the IB parameter length instead of reusing an already obtained value. This could allow a local attacker to potentially manipulate the IB contents between reads, leading to unexpected behavior or a denial of service.
