CVE-2025-37903

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/amd/display: Fix slab-use-after-free in hdcp

The HDCP code in amdgpu_dm_hdcp.c copies pointers to amdgpu_dm_connector objects without incrementing the kref reference counts. When using a USB-C dock, and the dock is unplugged, the corresponding amdgpu_dm_connector objects are freed, creating dangling pointers in the HDCP code.

When the dock is plugged back, the dangling pointers are dereferenced, resulting in a slab-use-after-free:
