CVE-2026-98309
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/vc4: Use managed KMS polling to fix UAF on unbind
vc4_kms_load() calls drm_kms_helper_poll_init() but the driver provides no matching drm_kms_helper_poll_fini(). The output poll work stays scheduled after unbind and runs on the freed drm_device:
# modprobe vc4; rmmod vc4; sleep 10 BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in delayed_work_timer_fn BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in drm_client_dev_hotplug [drm] Workqueue: events output_poll_execute [drm_kms_helper] Allocated by task 171: __devm_drm_dev_alloc Freed by task 262 (rmmod): drm_dev_put / component_del
Use drmm_kms_helper_poll_init() so polling is finalized with the device, as other drivers do.
