CVE-2023-52856 (Low severity, published 2024-05-20)
CVSS score: 4.4 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CWE: CWE-476
Description: 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:
