CVE-2026-90363CVE-2026-90363
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm: don't tear down KMS twice when KMS init fails
When priv->kms_init() (mdp4_kms_init() / mdp5_kms_init()) fails partway
through, both display drivers already tear their KMS state down via
mdp4_destroy() / mdp5_kms_destroy() before returning the error. The
common error path in msm_drm_init() then runs msm_drm_uninit() ->
msm_drm_kms_uninit(), which tries to destroy the very same KMS a second
time, which causes a use-after-free crash.
Bring MDP4/MDP5 in line with the DPU driver whose dpu_kms_init() doesn't
perform error cleanup on the failure. Let the common path own the
cleanup, instead of freeing the KMS from their error paths.
The crash trace for the reference:
__lock_acquire from lock_acquire (kernel/locking/lockdep.c:5906 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:5863)
lock_acquire from touch_wq_lockdep_map (kernel/workqueue.c:4094 (discriminator 1))
touch_wq_lockdep_map from __flush_workqueue (kernel/workqueue.c:4
