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. The issue occurred because the
set output gamma function pointer was being dereferenced without a null check in the dcn32 set output transfer func function. This could have led to a null pointer dereference if set output gamma is null. The fix adds a null check for set output gamma before dereferencing it.Recommendations:
To fix this issue, ensure that the
set output gamma function pointer is not null before dereferencing it. As a temporary workaround, consider adding a null check for set output gamma before the call to set output gamma. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.Exploit
