Description
CVE-2026-45956 is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel's drm/exynos vidi driver where an incorrect device pointer is used for context lookup in vidi_connection_ioctl(). This flaw can cause null pointer dereferences, garbage value accesses, out-of-bounds errors, and use-after-free errors. The issue is fixed by correctly storing and using the vidi device pointer during bind/unbind operations and ioctl calls.
