In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: sm501fb: Fix buffer errors in OF binding code
The code that gets the frame buffer mode from OF has use after free, buffer overrun and memory leaks.
info->edid_data isnt free if the probe functions fail or if pd->def_mode is set.
If both the CRT and PANEL are enabled info->edid_data is used after being freed and is freed twice.
The string returned by of_get_property(np, mode, &len) is just written over either the static 640x480-16@60 or the module parameter string without any regard for the length (which is most likely longer).
Use kstrump() for the OF mode and free everything before freeing info.
