Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> drm/amd/display: Fix NULL pointer dereference in dcn401_init_hw()<br /> <br /> dcn401_init_hw() assumes that update_bw_bounding_box() is valid when<br /> entering the update path. However, the existing condition:<br /> <br /> ((!fams2_enable &amp;&amp; update_bw_bounding_box) || freq_changed)<br /> <br /> does not guarantee this, as the freq_changed branch can evaluate to true<br /> independently of the callback pointer.<br /> <br /> This can result in calling update_bw_bounding_box() when it is NULL.<br /> <br /> Fix this by separating the update condition from the pointer checks and<br /> ensuring the callback, dc-&gt;clk_mgr, and bw_params are validated before<br /> use.<br /> <br /> Fixes the below:<br /> ../dc/hwss/dcn401/dcn401_hwseq.c:367 dcn401_init_hw() error: we previously assumed &amp;#39;dc-&gt;res_pool-&gt;funcs-&gt;update_bw_bounding_box&amp;#39; could be null (see line 362)<br /> <br /> (cherry picked from commit 86117c5ab42f21562fedb0a64bffea3ee5fcd477)
