CVE-2026-98998

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/bridge: th1520-dw-hdmi: Fix remove() callback This driver stores struct th1520_hdmi * in platform drvdata, but th1520_dw_hdmi_remove() was reading it back as struct dw_hdmi * and passing it to dw_hdmi_remove(), so teardown runs on the wrong pointer. Retrieve struct th1520_hdmi * from platform drvdata and pass hdmi->dw_hdmi to dw_hdmi_remove().
