Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: Fix dc_link NULL handling in HPD init amdgpu_dm_hpd_init() may see connectors without a valid dc_link. The code already checks dc_link for the polling decision, but later unconditionally dereferences it when setting up HPD interrupts. Assign dc_link early and skip connectors where it is NULL. Fixes the below: drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/amdgpu_dm/amdgpu_dm_irq.c:940 amdgpu_dm_hpd_init() error: we previously assumed 'dc_link' could be null (see line 931) drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/amdgpu_dm/amdgpu_dm_irq.c 923 /* 924 * Analog connectors may be hot-plugged unlike other connector 925 * types that don't support HPD. Only poll analog connectors. 926 */ 927 use_polling |= 928 amdgpu_dm_connector->dc_link && ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The patch adds this NULL check but hopefully it can be removed 929 dc_connector_supports_analog(amdgpu_dm_connector->dc_link->link_id.id); 930 931 dc_link = amdgpu_dm_connector->dc_link; dc_link assigned here. 932 933 /* 934 * Get a base driver irq reference for hpd ints for the lifetime 935 * of dm.
