In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/stm: Avoid use-after-free issues with crtc and plane ltdc_load() calls functions drm_crtc_init_with_planes(), drm_universal_plane_init() and drm_encoder_init(). These functions should not be called with parameters allocated with devm_kzalloc() to avoid use-after-free issues [1]. Use allocations managed by the DRM framework. Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org). [1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/u366i76e3qhh3ra5oxrtngjtm2u5lterkekcz6y2jkndhuxzli@diujon4h7qwb/
