Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
drm/msm/dp: fix aux-bus EP lifetime<br />
<br />
Device-managed resources allocated post component bind must be tied to<br />
the lifetime of the aggregate DRM device or they will not necessarily be<br />
released when binding of the aggregate device is deferred.<br />
<br />
This can lead resource leaks or failure to bind the aggregate device<br />
when binding is later retried and a second attempt to allocate the<br />
resources is made.<br />
<br />
For the DP aux-bus, an attempt to populate the bus a second time will<br />
simply fail ("DP AUX EP device already populated").<br />
<br />
Fix this by tying the lifetime of the EP device to the DRM device rather<br />
than DP controller platform device.<br />
