Doc Text:	A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's TH1520 HDMI bridge driver. During device removal, the driver's teardown callback retrieves driver private data using an incorrect data structure type and passes an invalid pointer to the cleanup routine. A local privileged user could trigger this issue when unbinding the device or unloading the driver, leading to memory corruption and a system crash resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-10-23 13:43:58 UTC

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/bridge: th1520-dw-hdmi: Fix remove() callback

This driver stores struct th1520_hdmi * in platform drvdata, but
th1520_dw_hdmi_remove() was reading it back as struct dw_hdmi *
and passing it to dw_hdmi_remove(), so teardown runs on the wrong
pointer.

Retrieve struct th1520_hdmi * from platform drvdata and pass
hdmi->dw_hdmi to dw_hdmi_remove().
