Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the `drm/rockchip: dw_dp` component of the Linux kernel. This vulnerability occurs because core resources, such as the DisplayPort AUX channel, are initialized but never properly released when the `dw_dp_bind()` function is called. This oversight can lead to memory leaks and a use-after-free condition, where the system attempts to access memory that has already been freed. A local attacker could potentially exploit this flaw to cause system instability or a denial of service.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-17 16:43:38 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/rockchip: dw_dp: Release core resources

Core resources such as the DisplayPort AUX channel get initialized and
registered during dw_dp_bind(), but are never unregistered, which may
lead to memory leaks and/or use-after-free:

Since a previous commit exported dw_dp_unbind() function in DW DP core
library to take care of the necessary cleanup, use this in the
component's unbind() callback, as well as in its bind() error path.
