CVE-2021-47063: Linux Kernel

High severity, CVSS 7.8. EPSS: 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm: bridge/panel: Cleanup connector on bridge detach If we don't call drm_connector_cleanup() manually in panel_bridge_detach(), the connector will be cleaned up with the other DRM objects in the call to drm_mode_config_cleanup(). However, since our drm_connector is devm-allocated, by the time drm_mode_config_cleanup() will be called, our connector will be long gone. Therefore, the connector must be cleaned up when the bridge is detached to avoid use-after-free conditions. v2: Cleanup connector only if it was created v3: Add FIXME v4: (Use connector->dev) directly in if() block

Affected products

• Linux Linux Kernel: from 4.13, before 5.10.37 (fixed in 5.10.37); from 5.11, before 5.11.21 (fixed in 5.11.21); from 5.12, before 5.12.4 (fixed in 5.12.4)
