Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/meson: remove drm bridges at aggregate driver unbind time
drm bridges added by meson_encoder_hdmi_init and meson_encoder_cvbs_init
were not manually removed at module unload time, which caused dangling
references to freed memory to remain linked in the global bridge_list.
When loading the driver modules back in, the same functions would again
call drm_bridge_add, and when traversing the global bridge_list, would
end up peeking into freed memory.
Once again KASAN revealed the problem:
