CVE-2024-49914 Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Add null check for pipe_ctx->plane_state in dcn20_program_pipe
This commit addresses a null pointer dereference issue in the
`dcn20_program_pipe` function. The issue could occur when
`pipe_ctx->plane_state` is null.
The fix adds a check to ensure `pipe_ctx->plane_state` is not null
before accessing. This prevents a null pointer dereference.
Reported by smatch:
