CVE-2024-35950 is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel DRM client caused by incomplete mutex protection of the modes[] array. This array holds pointers to modes in connector mode lists, which are protected by dev->mode_config.mutex. Without equivalent protection for the array, its entries can reference freed or reused memory when accessed. The fix extends the mutex protection to modes[] accesses.
