the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ndrm/meson: remove drm bridges at aggregate driver unbind time\n\ndrm bridges added by meson_encoder_hdmi_init and meson_encoder_cvbs_init\nwere not manually removed at module unload time, which caused dangling\nreferences to freed memory to remain linked in the global bridge_list.\n\nWhen loading the driver modules back in, the same functions would again\ncall drm_bridge_add, and when traversing the global bridge_list, would\nend up peeking into freed memory.\n\nOnce again KASAN revealed the
