Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
The Linux kernel contains a flaw within the DRM/i915 driver where a NULL pointer dereference can occur. Specifically, the
intel atomic get new crtc state function may return NULL under certain conditions if a CRTC state was not previously obtained with intel atomic get crtc state. The absence of a NULL check can lead to a dereference of a NULL pointer. This issue was addressed by adding a NULL check to ensure the pointer is valid before use, similar to existing checks in other parts of the code.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
