Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-08-15 06:33:33 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/rockchip: inno-hdmi: Switch to drmm_kzalloc()

Driver makes use of drmm_encoder_init() to initialize the encoder and
automatically handle the cleanup by registering drm_encoder_cleanup()
with drmm_add_action().

However, the internal structure containing the encoder part gets
allocated with devm_kzalloc(), which happens while component_bind_all()
is being called from Rockchip DRM driver.  The component framework
further ensures it is deallocated as part of releasing all the resources
claimed during bind, which is triggered from component_unbind_all().

When the reference to the DRM device gets eventually dropped via
drm_dev_put() in rockchip_drm_unbind(), drmm_encoder_alloc_release()
attempts to access the now released encoder structure, leading to
use-after-free.

Ensure driver's internal structure is still reachable on encoder cleanup
by switching from a device-managed allocation to a drm-managed one.
