In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Add NULL check for clkmgr and clkmgr->funcs in dcn401inithw
This commit addresses a potential null pointer dereference issue in the
dcn401_init_hw
function. The issue could occur when dc->clk_mgr
or
dc->clk_mgr->funcs
is null.
The fix adds a check to ensure dc->clk_mgr
and dc->clk_mgr->funcs
is
not null before accessing its functions. This prevents a potential null
pointer dereference.
Reported by smatch: drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/dc/hwss/dcn401/dcn401hwseq.c:416 dcn401inithw() error: we previously assumed 'dc->clkmgr' could be null (see line 225)
