CVE-2022-50292

DisplayPort binding failure via mis-scoped bridge lifetime

Published Sep 15, 2025 · Updated Sep 15, 2025

Resource leakage in the Linux 5.19 DRM/MSM DisplayPort driver allows local users to interrupt aggregate DRM device binding. Bridges allocated after component binding are device-managed against the DP platform device instead of the aggregate DRM device, so probe deferral leaves them allocated and a retry can fail. Reachability requires the affected DRM/MSM DisplayPort path and deferred aggregate-device binding; the record does not establish user control over deferral.
