Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/msm/a6xx: move preempt_prepare_postamble after error check Move the call to preempt_prepare_postamble() after verifying that preempt_postamble_ptr is valid. If preempt_postamble_ptr is NULL, dereferencing it in preempt_prepare_postamble() would lead to a crash. This change avoids calling the preparation function when the postamble allocation has failed, preventing potential NULL pointer dereference and ensuring proper error handling. Patchwork: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/687659/

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 6.13.1 < 6.18.3) • linux linux kernel 6.13 • linux linux kernel 6.19
