Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> drm/rockchip: vop2: fail cleanly if missing a primary plane for a video-port<br /> <br /> Each window of a vop2 is usable by a specific set of video ports, so while<br /> binding the vop2, we look through the list of available windows trying to<br /> find one designated as primary-plane and usable by that specific port.<br /> <br /> The code later wants to use drm_crtc_init_with_planes with that found<br /> primary plane, but nothing has checked so far if a primary plane was<br /> actually found.<br /> <br /> For whatever reason, the rk3576 vp2 does not have a usable primary window<br /> (if vp0 is also in use) which brought the issue to light and ended in a<br /> null-pointer dereference further down.<br /> <br /> As we expect a primary-plane to exist for a video-port, add a check at<br /> the end of the window-iteration and fail probing if none was found.
