Summary

CVE-2024-56697: A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's drm/amdgpu driver has been addressed. Two memory allocation issues in the function amdgpu_discovery_get_nps_info() have been rectified. Firstly, a null pointer dereference risk was mitigated by adding a check for allocation failure. Secondly, the use of kvcalloc() for memory allocation was suggested to prevent integer overflow. Furthermore, the output parameters nps_type and range_cnt were assigned post-allocation to prevent modification in case of an error.
