CVE: CVE-2025-37903
Component: kernel
Severity: None
Release date: 2025-05-20T00:00:00+00:00

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

drm/amd/display: Fix slab-use-after-free in hdcp

The HDCP code in amdgpu_dm_hdcp.c copies pointers to amdgpu_dm_connector
objects without incrementing the kref reference counts. When using a
USB-C dock, and the dock is unplugged, the corresponding
amdgpu_dm_connector objects are freed, creating dangling pointers in the
HDCP code. When the dock is plugged back, the dangling pointers are
dereferenced, resulting in a slab-use-after-free:
