Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Add NULL check for clk_mgr and clk_mgr->funcs in dcn30_init_hw
This commit addresses a potential null pointer dereference issue in the
`dcn30_init_hw` function. The issue could occur when `dc->clk_mgr` or
`dc->clk_mgr->funcs` is null.
The fix adds a check to ensure `dc->clk_mgr` and `dc->clk_mgr->funcs` is
not null before accessing its functions. This prevents a potential null
pointer dereference.
Reported by smatch:
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/dc/hwss/dcn30/dcn30_hwseq.c:789 dcn30_init_hw() error: we previously assumed 'dc->clk_mgr' could be null (see line 628)
Affected configurations
• linux linux kernel (< 6.10.14)
