[ Upstream commit 2d1e952a2b8e5e92d8d55ac88a7cf7ca5ea591ad ]
If a user can make copy_from_user() fail, there is a potential for
UAF/DF due to a lack of locking around the allocation, use and freeing
of the data buffers.
This issue is not theoretical. I managed to author a POC for it:

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
