    AppleAVD deallocateKernelMemoryInternal Missing Surface Lock

    In AppleAVD.kext, pixel buffers are mapped by calling AppleAVDUserClient::_mapPixelBuffer, which eventually calls AppleAVD::allocateKernelMemoryInternal. If the buffer is an IOSurface, the function calls IOSurface::deviceLockSurface before allocating memory by
    calling prepare. But when a pixel buffer is unmapped by calling AppleAVDUserClient::_unmapPixelBuffer, which calls AppleAVD::deallocateKernelMemoryInternal, the IOSurface is not locked
    before calling complete. This means that mapping and unmapping can occur
    at the same time, leading to kernel memory corruption. This bug could
    allow escalation to kernel privileges from a local app.
