In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm: bridge: adv7511: unregister cec i2c device after cec adapter cec_unregister_adapter() assumes that the underlying adapter ops are callable. For example, if the CEC adapter currently has a valid physical address, then the unregistration procedure will invalidate the physical address by setting it to f.f.f.f. Whence the following kernel oops observed after removing the adv7511 module: Unable to handle kernel execution of user memory at virtual address 0000000000000000 Internal error: Oops: 86000004 [#1] PREEMPT_RT SMP Call trace: 0x0 adv7511_cec_adap_log_addr+0x1ac/0x1c8 [adv7511] cec_adap_unconfigure+0x44/0x90 [cec] __cec_s_phys_addr.part.0+0x68/0x230 [cec] __cec_s_phys_addr+0x40/0x50 [cec] cec_unregister_adapter+0xb4/0x118 [cec] adv7511_remove+0x60/0x90 [adv7511] i2c_device_remove+0x34/0xe0 device_release_driver_internal+0x114/0x1f0 driver_detach+0x54/0xe0 bus_remove_driver+0x60/0xd8 driver_unregister+0x34/0x60 i2c_del_driver+0x2c/0x68 adv7511_exit+0x1c/0x67c [adv7511] __arm64_sys_delete_module+0x154/0x288 invoke_syscall+0x48/0x100 el0_svc_common.constprop.0+0x48/0xe8 do_el0_svc+0x28/0x88 el0_svc+0x1c/0x50 el0t_64_sync_handler+0xa8/0xb0 el0t_64_sync+0x15c/0x160 Code: bad PC value ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- Protect against this scenario by unregistering i2c_cec after unregistering the CEC adapter.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.
