CVE-2024-49920

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: Check null pointers before multiple uses [WHAT & HOW] Poniters, such as stream_enc and dc->bw_vbios, are null checked previously in the same function, so Coverity warns "implies that stream_enc and dc->bw_vbios might be null". They are used multiple times in the subsequent code and need to be checked. This fixes 10 FORWARD_NULL issues reported by Coverity.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: drm/amd/display: comprobar punteros nulos antes de múltiples usos [QUÉ Y CÓMO] Los punteros, como stream_enc y dc->bw_vbios, se comprueban como nulos previamente en la misma función, por lo que Coverity advierte "implica que stream_enc y dc->bw_vbios podrían ser nulos". Se utilizan varias veces en el código posterior y es necesario comprobarlos. Esto soluciona 10 problemas de FORWARD_NULL informados por Coverity.
