Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/bridge: samsung-dsim: Fix memory leak in error path
In samsung_dsim_host_attach(), drm_bridge_add() is called to add the
bridge. However, if samsung_dsim_register_te_irq() or
pdata->host_ops->attach() fails afterwards, the function returns
without removing the bridge, causing a memory leak.
Fix this by adding proper error handling with goto labels to ensure
drm_bridge_remove() is called in all error paths. Also ensure that
samsung_dsim_unregister_te_irq() is called if the attach operation
fails after the TE IRQ has been registered.
samsung_dsim_unregister_te_irq() function is moved without changes
to be before samsung_dsim_host_attach() to avoid forward declaration.
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-43397 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
