In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Add null check for pipectx->planestate in dcn20programpipe
This commit addresses a null pointer dereference issue in the
dcn20_program_pipe
function. The issue could occur when
pipe_ctx->plane_state
is null.
The fix adds a check to ensure pipe_ctx->plane_state
is not null
before accessing. This prevents a null pointer dereference.
Reported by smatch: drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/dc/hwss/dcn20/dcn20hwseq.c:1925 dcn20programpipe() error: we previously assumed 'pipectx->plane_state' could be null (see line 1877)
