CVE-2024-53201
CVSS 3.1 Score 5.5 of 10 (medium)
Details
Summary
CVE-2024-53201 is a vulnerability affecting the Linux kernel that has been addressed. In the drm/amd/display driver, a null pointer dereference issue was discovered in the function dcn20_program_pipe(). This issue occurred due to a missing null check for pipe_ctx->plane_state in that function. A previous commit had partly resolved this issue, but pipe_ctx was still being passed to other functions, and plane_state was being accessed directly. As a result, null pointer dereferences could still occur in multiple if statements that called attributes of plane_state. The patch fixes this problem by adding necessary null checks to ensure stability.
