FKIE_CVE-2024-49905
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2024-10-21 18:15 - Updated: 2026-06-17 08:00
Severity
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Add null check for 'afb' in amdgpu_dm_plane_handle_cursor_update (v2)
This commit adds a null check for the 'afb' variable in the
amdgpu_dm_plane_handle_cursor_update function. Previously, 'afb' was
assumed to be null, but was used later in the code without a null check.
This could potentially lead to a null pointer dereference.
Changes since v1:
- Moved the null check for 'afb' to the line where 'afb' is used. (Alex)
Fixes the below:
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/amdgpu_dm/amdgpu_dm_plane.c:1298 amdgpu_dm_plane_handle_cursor_update() error: we previously assumed 'afb' could be null (see line 1252)
