Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> drm/amd/display: Check null pointers before using dc-&gt;clk_mgr<br /> <br /> [WHY &amp; HOW]<br /> dc-&gt;clk_mgr is null checked previously in the same function, indicating<br /> it might be null.<br /> <br /> Passing "dc" to "dc-&gt;hwss.apply_idle_power_optimizations", which<br /> dereferences null "dc-&gt;clk_mgr".
