Subject: [PATCH] vmwgfx: Fix assignment in vmw_framebuffer_create_handle
Date: Sat, 28 Jan 2012 08:51:40 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4F231C6C.80803@gmail.com> (raw)

The assignment of handle in vmw_framebuffer_create_handle doesn't actually do anything useful and is incorrectly assigning an integer value to a pointer argument. It appears that this is a typo and should be dereferencing handle rather than assigning to it directly. This fixes a bug where an undefined handle value is potentially returned to user-space.

Thomas and Jakob have said that a correct fix involves returning the correct user_handle, but also requires changes to userspace. This patch is therefore a temporary fix only. Because it corrects an undefined handle value being returned to userspace, this should also be merged for stable kernels.
