Vulnerability from github
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/mediatek: Add error handling for old state CRTC in atomic_disable
Introduce error handling to address an issue where, after a hotplug
event, the cursor continues to update. This situation can lead to a
kernel panic due to accessing the NULL old_state->crtc.
E,g. Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address Call trace: mtk_crtc_plane_disable+0x24/0x140 mtk_plane_atomic_update+0x8c/0xa8 drm_atomic_helper_commit_planes+0x114/0x2c8 drm_atomic_helper_commit_tail_rpm+0x4c/0x158 commit_tail+0xa0/0x168 drm_atomic_helper_commit+0x110/0x120 drm_atomic_commit+0x8c/0xe0 drm_atomic_helper_update_plane+0xd4/0x128 __setplane_atomic+0xcc/0x110 drm_mode_cursor_common+0x250/0x440 drm_mode_cursor_ioctl+0x44/0x70 drm_ioctl+0x264/0x5d8 __arm64_sys_ioctl+0xd8/0x510 invoke_syscall+0x6c/0xe0 do_el0_svc+0x68/0xe8 el0_svc+0x34/0x60 el0t_64_sync_handler+0x1c/0xf8 el0t_64_sync+0x180/0x188
Adding NULL pointer checks to ensure stability by preventing operations on an invalid CRTC state.
