[ Upstream commit 52762efa2b256ed1c5274e5177cbd52ee11a2f6a ] In function displback_changed, has the call chain displback_connect(front_info)->xen_drm_drv_init(front_info). We can see that drm_info is assigned to front_info->drm_info and drm_info is freed in fail branch in xen_drm_drv_init(). Later displback_disconnect(front_info) is called and it calls xen_drm_drv_fini(front_info) cause a use after free by drm_info = front_info->drm_info statement. My patch has done two things. First fixes the fail label which drm_info = kzalloc() failed and still free the drm_info. Second sets front_info->drm_info to NULL to avoid uaf.

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.
