| Subject: CVE-2024-44967: drm/mgag200: Bind I2C lifetime to DRM device |
| |
| Description |
| =========== |
| |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: |
| |
| drm/mgag200: Bind I2C lifetime to DRM device |
| |
| Managed cleanup with devm_add_action_or_reset() will release the I2C |
| adapter when the underlying Linux device goes away. But the connector |
| still refers to it, so this cleanup leaves behind a stale pointer |
| in struct drm_connector.ddc. |
| |
| Bind the lifetime of the I2C adapter to the connector's lifetime by |
| using DRM's managed release. When the DRM device goes away (after |
| the Linux device) DRM will first clean up the connector and then |
| clean up the I2C adapter. |
| |
| The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2024-44967 to this issue. |

| Mitigation |
| ========== |
| |
| The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest |
| stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual |
| changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel |
| release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or |
| supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to |
| the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this |
| issue can be found at these commits: |
| https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/55a6916db77102765b22855d3a0add4751988b7c |
