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

drm/meson: explicitly remove aggregate driver at module unload time

Because component_master_del wasn't being called when unloading the
meson_drm module, the aggregate device would linger forever in the global
aggregate_devices list. That means when unloading and reloading the
meson_dw_hdmi module, component_add would call into
try_to_bring_up_aggregate_device and find the unbound meson_drm aggregate
device.

This would in turn dereference some of the aggregate_device's struct
entries which point to memory automatically freed by the devres API when
unbinding the aggregate device from meson_drv_unbind, and trigger an
use-after-free bug:
