In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: add upper bound check on user inputs in wait ioctl
Huge input values in amdgpu_userq_wait_ioctl can lead to a OOM and
could be exploited.
So check these input value against AMDGPU_USERQ_MAX_HANDLES
which is big enough value for genuine use cases and could
potentially avoid OOM.
v2: squash in Srini's fix
(cherry picked from commit fcec012c664247531aed3e662f4280ff804d1476)
