Descriptions
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/nouveau/disp: fix use-after-free in error handling of nouveau_connector_create We can't simply free the connector after calling drm_connector_init on it.
We need to clean up the drm side first. It might not fix all regressions from commit 2b5d1c29f6c4
("drm/nouveau/disp: PIOR DP uses GPIO for HPD, not PMGR AUX interrupts"),
but at least it fixes a memory corruption in error handling related to
that commit.
This update provides the initial livepatch for this kernel update. This update does not contain any fixes and will be updated with livepatches later.
