The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free race in VM acquire when parent and child processes sharing a drm_file both try to acquire the same VM after fork(). A local user can trigger concurrent VM acquisition to cause a denial of service.
The issue occurs in scenarios involving fork() with shared drm_file state between parent and child processes.
