Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: stm32: dcmi: unregister notifier on probe failure
dcmi_graph_init() registers the async notifier before dcmi_probe() toggles
the reset line. If reset_control_assert() or reset_control_deassert()
fails afterwards, probe returns through err_cleanup and the driver core
will not call dcmi_remove().
Unregister the notifier before cleaning it up on that error path,
matching the successful remove path and the V4L2 async notifier lifetime
rules.

No network or remote data path reaches this code.\nAC:L - Once the driver has probe-failed on the reset line, the stale notifier remains on the global v4l2 notifier_list indefinitely, and any subsequent subdev registration deterministically walks the freed object; no race or unpredictable memory layout must be won to reach the freed dereference.\nPR:L - A local user account on the device is sufficient to interact with the media/V4L2 stack and trigger subdev registration paths that walk the corrupted global notifier list; no root or administrative capability is needed to consume the dangling pointer.\nUI:N - The stale notifier is left behind automatically by the failing probe path and is dereferenced by kernel-internal V4L2 async registration; no victim action such as opening a file or mounting a filesystem is required.\nS:U - The freed memory, the corrupted list, and the resulting impact are all within the kernel\u0027s own security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The devm-allocated stm32_dcmi object containing the notifier is freed while still linked into the global notifier_list, so reallocated heap contents are read back as notifier state and traversed as list pointers, which can be leveraged to disclose kernel memory.\nI:H - Traversal and eventual list_del of the freed notifier_entry performs writes through attacker-influenceable heap contents, giving a use-after-free list-corruption primitive that can be shaped into an arbitrary write and control-flow hijack.\nA:H - Dereferencing and unlinking a freed notifier from the global list reliably produces list corruption and an oops or panic in the V4L2 async core, taking down the kernel."
