**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
A NULL pointer dereference issue has been resolved in the Linux kernel, specifically in the drm/mst component. The issue was caused by commits 5aa1dfcdf0a4 and 54d217406afe, which accidentally overwrote previous commits and caused regression. The fix involves recovering the original NULL fix and removing the unnecessary input parameter `state` for the `drm dp add payload part2()` function.
**Recommendations**
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
