In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/xe: Limit num_syncs to prevent oversized allocations

The exec and vm_bind ioctl allow userspace to specify an arbitrary
num_syncs value. Without bounds checking, a very large num_syncs
can force an excessively large allocation, leading to kernel warnings
from the page allocator as below.

Introduce DRM_XE_MAX_SYNCS (set to 1024) and reject any request
exceeding this limit.

v2: Add "Reported-by" and Cc stable kernels.
v3: Change XE_MAX_SYNCS from 64 to 1024. (Matt & Ashutosh)
v4: s/XE_MAX_SYNCS/DRM_XE_MAX_SYNCS/ (Matt)
v5: Do the check at the top of the exec func. (Matt)
