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

drm/bridge: lt8912b: Fix crash on bridge detach

The lt8912b driver, in its bridge detach function, calls drm_connector_unregister() and drm_connector_cleanup().

drm_connector_unregister() should be called only for connectors explicitly registered with drm_connector_register(), which is not the case in lt8912b.

The driver's drm_connector_funcs.destroy hook is set to drm_connector_cleanup().

Thus the driver should not call either drm_connector_unregister() nor drm_connector_cleanup() in its lt8912_bridge_detach(), as they cause a crash on bridge detach:
