Exploiting this vulnerability requires an attacker to have access to
either /dev/dri/card0 or /dev/dri/rendererD128 and be able to issue an
ioctl() on the resulting file descriptor.

Forgot to mention, as per linux-distros' list policy, an exploit for the
vulnerability will be provided in 7 days, as one has been shared with
the linux-distros before.

Meanwhile the patch was merged into Linux mainline:

Thanks,
