Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
drm: bridge: dw_hdmi: fix connector access for scdc<br />
<br />
Commit 5d844091f237 ("drm/scdc-helper: Pimp SCDC debugs") changed the scdc<br />
interface to pick up an i2c adapter from a connector instead. However, in<br />
the case of dw-hdmi, the wrong connector was being used to pass i2c adapter<br />
information, since dw-hdmi&#39;s embedded connector structure is only populated<br />
when the bridge attachment callback explicitly asks for it.<br />
<br />
drm-meson is handling connector creation, so this won&#39;t happen, leading to<br />
a NULL pointer dereference.<br />
<br />
Fix it by having scdc functions access dw-hdmi&#39;s current connector pointer<br />
instead, which is assigned during the bridge enablement stage.<br />
<br />
