| Doc Text: |
A use-after-free vulnerability was identified in the Linux kernel framebuffer console (fbcon) subsystem. During framebuffer unregistration, the kernel freed the memory for a display mode but did not clear the corresponding fb_display[i]->mode pointer. Subsequent framebuffer ioctl operations could then dereference the stale pointer, resulting in a kernel oops or crash.
