In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: NFSv4: Prevent NULL-pointer dereference in nfs42_complete_copies() On the node of an NFS client, some files saved in the mountpoint of the NFS server were copied to another location of the same NFS server. Accidentally, the nfs42_complete_copies() got a NULL-pointer dereference crash with the following syslog: [232064.838881] NFSv4: state recovery failed for open file nfs/pvc-12b5200d-cd0f-46a3-b9f0-af8f4fe0ef64.qcow2, error = -116 [232064.839360] NFSv4: state recovery failed for open file nfs/pvc-12b5200d-cd0f-46a3-b9f0-af8f4fe0ef64.qcow2, error = -116 [232066.588183] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000058 [232066.588586] Mem abort info: [232066.588701] ESR = 0x0000000096000007 [232066.588862] EC = 0x25: DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits [232066.589084] SET = 0, FnV = 0 [232066.589216] EA = 0, S1PTW = 0 [232066.589340] FSC = 0x07: level 3 translation fault [232066.589559] Data abort info: [232066.589683] ISV = 0, ISS = 0x00000007 [232066.589842] CM = 0, WnR = 0 [232066.589967] user pgtable: 64k pages, 48-bit VAs, pgdp=00002000956ff400 [232066.590231] [0000000000000058] pgd=08001100ae100003, p4d=08001100ae100003, pud=08001100ae100003, pmd=08001100b3c00003, pte=0000000000000000 [232066.590757] Internal error: Oops: 96000007 [#1] SMP [232066.590958] Modules linked in: rpcsec_gss_krb5 auth_rpcgss nfsv4 dns_resolver nfs lockd grace fscache netfs ocfs2_dlmfs ocfs2_stack_o2cb ocfs2_dlm vhost_net vhost vhost_iotlb tap tun ipt_rpfilter xt_multiport ip_set_hash_ip ip_set_hash_net xfrm_interface xfrm6_tunnel tunnel4 tunnel6 esp4 ah4 wireguard libcurve25519_generic veth xt_addrtype xt_set nf_conntrack_netlink ip_set_hash_ipportnet ip_set_hash_ipportip ip_set_bitmap_port ip_set_hash_ipport dummy ip_set ip_vs_sh ip_vs_wrr ip_vs_rr ip_vs iptable_filter sch_ingress nfnetlink_cttimeout vport_gre ip_gre ip_tunnel gre vport_geneve geneve vport_vxlan vxlan ip6_udp_tunnel udp_tunnel openvswitch nf_conncount dm_round_robin dm_service_time dm_multipath xt_nat xt_MASQUERADE nft_chain_nat nf_nat xt_mark xt_conntrack xt_comment nft_compat nft_counter nf_tables nfnetlink ocfs2 ocfs2_nodemanager ocfs2_stackglue iscsi_tcp libiscsi_tcp libiscsi scsi_transport_iscsi ipmi_ssif nbd overlay 8021q garp mrp bonding tls rfkill sunrpc ext4 mbcache jbd2 [232066.591052] vfat fat cas_cache cas_disk ses enclosure scsi_transport_sas sg acpi_ipmi ipmi_si ipmi_devintf ipmi_msghandler ip_tables vfio_pci vfio_pci_core vfio_virqfd vfio_iommu_type1 vfio dm_mirror dm_region_hash dm_log dm_mod nf_conntrack nf_defrag_ipv6 nf_defrag_ipv4 br_netfilter bridge stp llc fuse xfs libcrc32c ast drm_vram_helper qla2xxx drm_kms_helper syscopyarea crct10dif_ce sysfillrect ghash_ce sysimgblt sha2_ce fb_sys_fops cec sha256_arm64 sha1_ce drm_ttm_helper ttm nvme_fc igb sbsa_gwdt nvme_fabrics drm nvme_core i2c_algo_bit i40e scsi_transport_fc megaraid_sas aes_neon_bs [232066.596953] CPU: 6 PID: 4124696 Comm: 10.253.166.125- Kdump: loaded Not tainted 5.15.131-9.cl9_ocfs2.aarch64 #1 [232066.597356] Hardware name: Great Wall .\x93\x8e...RF6260 V5/GWMSSE2GL1T, BIOS T656FBE_V3.0.18 2024-01-06 [232066.597721] pstate: 20400009 (nzCv daif +PAN -UAO -TCO -DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--) [232066.598034] pc : nfs4_reclaim_open_state+0x220/0x800 [nfsv4] [232066.598327] lr : nfs4_reclaim_open_state+0x12c/0x800 [nfsv4] [232066.598595] sp : ffff8000f568fc70 [232066.598731] x29: ffff8000f568fc70 x28: 0000000000001000 x27: ffff21003db33000 [232066.599030] x26: ffff800005521ae0 x25: ffff0100f98fa3f0 x24: 0000000000000001 [232066.599319] x23: ffff800009920008 x22: ffff21003db33040 x21: ffff21003db33050 [232066.599628] x20: ffff410172fe9e40 x19: ffff410172fe9e00 x18: 0000000000000000 [232066.599914] x17: 0000000000000000 x16: 0000000000000004 x15: 0000000000000000 [232066.600195] x14: 0000000000000000 x13: ffff800008e685a8 x12: 00000000eac0c6e6 [232066.600498] x11: 00000000000000 ---truncated---

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: gpiolib: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in gpiod_get_label() In `gpiod_get_label()`, it is possible that `srcu_dereference_check()` may return a NULL pointer, leading to a scenario where `label->str` is accessed without verifying if `label` itself is NULL. This patch adds a proper NULL check for `label` before accessing `label->str`. The check for `label->str != NULL` is removed because `label->str` can never be NULL if `label` is not NULL. This fixes the issue where the label name was being printed as `(efault)` when dumping the sysfs GPIO file when `label == NULL`.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sched/numa: Fix the potential null pointer dereference in task_numa_work() When running stress-ng-vm-segv test, we found a null pointer dereference error in task_numa_work().

Normally this program will not cause kernel crashes. But before the munmap system call returns to user mode, a potential task_numa_work() for numa balancing could be added and executed. In this scenario, since the child process has no vma after munmap, the vma_next() in task_numa_work() will return a null pointer even if the vma iterator restarts from 0. Recheck the vma pointer before dereferencing it in task_numa_work().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: phy: qcom: qmp-usb-legacy: fix NULL-deref on runtime suspend Commit 413db06c05e7 ("phy: qcom-qmp-usb: clean up probe initialisation") removed most users of the platform device driver data from the qcom-qmp-usb driver, but mistakenly also removed the initialisation despite the data still being used in the runtime PM callbacks. This bug was later reproduced when the driver was copied to create the qmp-usb-legacy driver. Restore the driver data initialisation at probe to avoid a NULL-pointer dereference on runtime suspend. Apparently no one uses runtime PM, which currently needs to be enabled manually through sysfs, with these drivers.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: stm32: spdifrx: fix dma channel release in stm32_spdifrx_remove In case of error when requesting ctrl_chan DMA channel, ctrl_chan is not null. So the release of the dma channel leads to the following issue: [ 4.879000] st,stm32-spdifrx 500d0000.audio-controller: dma_request_slave_channel error -19 [ 4.888975] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 000000000000003d [...] [ 5.096577] Call trace: [ 5.099099] dma_release_channel+0x24/0x100 [ 5.103235] stm32_spdifrx_remove+0x24/0x60 [snd_soc_stm32_spdifrx] [ 5.109494] stm32_spdifrx_probe+0x320/0x4c4 [snd_soc_stm32_spdifrx] To avoid this issue, release channel only if the pointer is valid.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: Check null pointer before dereferencing se [WHAT & HOW] se is null checked previously in the same function, indicating it might be null; therefore, it must be checked when used again. This fixes 1 FORWARD_NULL issue reported by Coverity.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: set the cipher for secured NDP ranging The cipher pointer is not set, but is derefereced trying to set its content, which leads to a NULL pointer dereference. Fix it by pointing to the cipher parameter before dereferencing.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: br_netfilter: fix panic with metadata_dst skb Fix a kernel panic in the br_netfilter module when sending untagged traffic via a VxLAN device. This happens during the check for fragmentation in br_nf_dev_queue_xmit. It is dependent on: 1) the br_netfilter module being loaded; 2) net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables set to 1; 3) a bridge with a VxLAN (single-vxlan-device) netdevice as a bridge port; 4) untagged frames with size higher than the VxLAN MTU forwarded/flooded When forwarding the untagged packet to the VxLAN bridge port, before the netfilter hooks are called, br_handle_egress_vlan_tunnel is called and changes the skb_dst to the tunnel dst. The tunnel_dst is a metadata type of dst, i.e., skb_valid_dst(skb) is false, and metadata->dst.dev is NULL. Then in the br_netfilter hooks, in br_nf_dev_queue_xmit, there's a check for frames that needs to be fragmented: frames with higher MTU than the VxLAN device end up calling br_nf_ip_fragment, which in turns call ip_skb_dst_mtu. The ip_dst_mtu tries to use the skb_dst(skb) as if it was a valid dst with valid dst->dev, thus the crash. This case was never supported in the first place, so drop the packet instead.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KEYS: trusted: dcp: fix NULL dereference in AEAD crypto operation When sealing or unsealing a key blob we currently do not wait for the AEAD cipher operation to finish and simply return after submitting the request. If there is some load on the system we can exit before the cipher operation is done and the buffer we read from/write to is already removed from the stack. This will e.g. result in NULL pointer dereference errors in the DCP driver during blob creation. Fix this by waiting for the AEAD cipher operation to finish before resuming the seal and unseal calls.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: target: core: Fix null-ptr-deref in target_alloc_device() There is a null-ptr-deref issue reported by KASAN: BUG: KASAN: null-ptr-deref in target_alloc_device+0xbc4/0xbe0 [target_core_mod] ... kasan_report+0xb9/0xf0 target_alloc_device+0xbc4/0xbe0 [target_core_mod] core_dev_setup_virtual_lun0+0xef/0x1f0 [target_core_mod] target_core_init_configfs+0x205/0x420 [target_core_mod] do_one_initcall+0xdd/0x4e0 ... entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e In target_alloc_device(), if allocing memory for dev queues fails, then dev will be freed by dev->transport->free_device(), but dev->transport is not initialized at that time, which will lead to a null pointer reference problem.

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.16-rc6. There is a lack of check after calling vzalloc() and lack of free after allocation in drivers/media/test-drivers/vidtv/vidtv_s302m.c.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/msm: Avoid NULL dereference in msm_disp_state_print_regs() If the allocation in msm_disp_state_dump_regs() failed then `block->state` can be NULL. The msm_disp_state_print_regs() function _does_ have code to try to handle it with: if (*reg) dump_addr = *reg; ...but since "dump_addr" is initialized to NULL the above is actually a noop. The code then goes on to dereference `dump_addr`. Make the function print "Registers not stored" when it sees a NULL to solve this. Since we're touching the code, fix msm_disp_state_print_regs() not to pointlessly take a double-pointer and properly mark the pointer as `const`. Patchwork: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/619657/

A NULL pointer dereference was found in the Linux kernel's KVM when dirty ring logging is enabled without an active vCPU context. An unprivileged local attacker on the host may use this flaw to cause a kernel oops condition and thus a denial of service by issuing a KVM_XEN_HVM_SET_ATTR ioctl. This flaw affects Linux kernel versions prior to 5.17-rc1.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ocfs2: fix null-ptr-deref when journal load failed. During the mounting process, if journal_reset() fails because of too short journal, then lead to jbd2_journal_load() fails with NULL j_sb_buffer. Subsequently, ocfs2_journal_shutdown() calls jbd2_journal_flush()->jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail()-> __jbd2_update_log_tail()->jbd2_journal_update_sb_log_tail() ->lock_buffer(journal->j_sb_buffer), resulting in a null-pointer dereference error. To resolve this issue, we should check the JBD2_LOADED flag to ensure the journal was properly loaded. Additionally, use journal instead of osb->journal directly to simplify the code.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: Check phantom_stream before it is used dcn32_enable_phantom_stream can return null, so returned value must be checked before used. This fixes 1 NULL_RETURNS issue reported by Coverity.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: Add null check for head_pipe in dcn32_acquire_idle_pipe_for_head_pipe_in_layer This commit addresses a potential null pointer dereference issue in the `dcn32_acquire_idle_pipe_for_head_pipe_in_layer` function. The issue could occur when `head_pipe` is null. The fix adds a check to ensure `head_pipe` is not null before asserting it. If `head_pipe` is null, the function returns NULL to prevent a potential null pointer dereference.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: hci: fix null-ptr-deref in hci_read_supported_codecs Fix __hci_cmd_sync_sk() to return not NULL for unknown opcodes. __hci_cmd_sync_sk() returns NULL if a command returns a status event. However, it also returns NULL where an opcode doesn't exist in the hci_cc table because hci_cmd_complete_evt() assumes status = skb->data[0] for unknown opcodes. This leads to null-ptr-deref in cmd_sync for HCI_OP_READ_LOCAL_CODECS as there is no hci_cc for HCI_OP_READ_LOCAL_CODECS, which always assumes status = skb->data[0].

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: Add NULL check for clk_mgr and clk_mgr->funcs in dcn401_init_hw This commit addresses a potential null pointer dereference issue in the `dcn401_init_hw` function. The issue could occur when `dc->clk_mgr` or `dc->clk_mgr->funcs` is null. The fix adds a check to ensure `dc->clk_mgr` and `dc->clk_mgr->funcs` is not null before accessing its functions. This prevents a potential null pointer dereference. Reported by smatch: drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/dc/hwss/dcn401/dcn401_hwseq.c:416 dcn401_init_hw() error: we previously assumed 'dc->clk_mgr' could be null (see line 225)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: lib/test_hmm.c: handle src_pfns and dst_pfns allocation failure The kcalloc() in dmirror_device_evict_chunk() will return null if the physical memory has run out. As a result, if src_pfns or dst_pfns is dereferenced, the null pointer dereference bug will happen. Moreover, the device is going away. If the kcalloc() fails, the pages mapping a chunk could not be evicted. So add a __GFP_NOFAIL flag in kcalloc(). Finally, as there is no need to have physically contiguous memory, Switch kcalloc() to kvcalloc() in order to avoid failing allocations.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: gso: fix udp gso fraglist segmentation after pull from frag_list Detect gso fraglist skbs with corrupted geometry (see below) and pass these to skb_segment instead of skb_segment_list, as the first can segment them correctly. Valid SKB_GSO_FRAGLIST skbs - consist of two or more segments - the head_skb holds the protocol headers plus first gso_size - one or more frag_list skbs hold exactly one segment - all but the last must be gso_size Optional datapath hooks such as NAT and BPF (bpf_skb_pull_data) can modify these skbs, breaking these invariants. In extreme cases they pull all data into skb linear. For UDP, this causes a NULL ptr deref in __udpv4_gso_segment_list_csum at udp_hdr(seg->next)->dest. Detect invalid geometry due to pull, by checking head_skb size. Don't just drop, as this may blackhole a destination. Convert to be able to pass to regular skb_segment.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: pinctrl: stm32: check devm_kasprintf() returned value devm_kasprintf() can return a NULL pointer on failure but this returned value is not checked. Fix this lack and check the returned value. Found by code review.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: hda/cs8409: Fix possible NULL dereference If snd_hda_gen_add_kctl fails to allocate memory and returns NULL, then NULL pointer dereference will occur in the next line. Since dolphin_fixups function is a hda_fixup function which is not supposed to return any errors, add simple check before dereference, ignore the fail.

It could be simply reproduced by following steps. The problem is because of the resize_inode feature was cleared, and it will convert the filesystem to meta_bg mode in ext4_resize_fs(), but the es->s_reserved_gdt_blocks was not reduced to zero, so could we mistakenly call reserve_backup_gdb() and passing an uninitialized resize_inode to it when adding new group descriptors. mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda 3G tune2fs -O ^resize_inode /dev/sda #forget to run requested e2fsck mount /dev/sda /mnt resize2fs /dev/sda 8G ======== BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000028 CPU: 19 PID: 3243 Comm: resize2fs Not tainted 5.18.0-rc7-00001-gfde086c5ebfd #748 ...

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tracing/probes: Fix MAX_TRACE_ARGS limit handling When creating a trace_probe we would set nr_args prior to truncating the arguments to MAX_TRACE_ARGS. However, we would only initialize arguments up to the limit. This caused invalid memory access when attempting to set up probes with more than 128 fetchargs.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: phy: qcom: qmp-usbc: fix NULL-deref on runtime suspend Commit 413db06c05e7 ("phy: qcom-qmp-usb: clean up probe initialisation") removed most users of the platform device driver data from the qcom-qmp-usb driver, but mistakenly also removed the initialisation despite the data still being used in the runtime PM callbacks. This bug was later reproduced when the driver was copied to create the qmp-usbc driver. Restore the driver data initialisation at probe to avoid a NULL-pointer dereference on runtime suspend. Apparently no one uses runtime PM, which currently needs to be enabled manually through sysfs, with these drivers.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: correctly handle malformed BPF_CORE_TYPE_ID_LOCAL relos In case of malformed relocation record of kind BPF_CORE_TYPE_ID_LOCAL referencing a non-existing BTF type, function bpf_core_calc_relo_insn would cause a null pointer deference. Fix this by adding a proper check upper in call stack, as malformed relocation records could be passed from user space. Simplest reproducer is a program: r0 = 0 exit With a single relocation record: .insn_off = 0, /* patch first instruction */ .type_id = 100500, /* this type id does not exist */ .access_str_off = 6, /* offset of string "0" */ .kind = BPF_CORE_TYPE_ID_LOCAL, See the link for original reproducer or next commit for a test case.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: Add NULL check for function pointer in dcn20_set_output_transfer_func This commit adds a null check for the set_output_gamma function pointer in the dcn20_set_output_transfer_func function. Previously, set_output_gamma was being checked for null at line 1030, but then it was being dereferenced without any null check at line 1048. This could potentially lead to a null pointer dereference error if set_output_gamma is null. To fix this, we now ensure that set_output_gamma is not null before dereferencing it. We do this by adding a null check for set_output_gamma before the call to set_output_gamma at line 1048.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: qcom: Fix NULL Dereference in asoc_qcom_lpass_cpu_platform_probe() A devm_kzalloc() in asoc_qcom_lpass_cpu_platform_probe() could possibly return NULL pointer. NULL Pointer Dereference may be triggerred without addtional check. Add a NULL check for the returned pointer.

The mac80211 subsystem in the Linux kernel before 5.12.13, when a device supporting only 5 GHz is used, allows attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference in the radiotap parser) by injecting a frame with 802.11a rates.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vhost/scsi: null-ptr-dereference in vhost_scsi_get_req() Since commit 3f8ca2e115e5 ("vhost/scsi: Extract common handling code from control queue handler") a null pointer dereference bug can be triggered when guest sends an SCSI AN request. In vhost_scsi_ctl_handle_vq(), `vc.target` is assigned with `&v_req.tmf.lun[1]` within a switch-case block and is then passed to vhost_scsi_get_req() which extracts `vc->req` and `tpg`. However, for a `VIRTIO_SCSI_T_AN_*` request, tpg is not required, so `vc.target` is set to NULL in this branch. Later, in vhost_scsi_get_req(), `vc->target` is dereferenced without being checked, leading to a null pointer dereference bug. This bug can be triggered from guest. When this bug occurs, the vhost_worker process is killed while holding `vq->mutex` and the corresponding tpg will remain occupied indefinitely.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bcache: revert replacing IS_ERR_OR_NULL with IS_ERR again Commit 028ddcac477b ("bcache: Remove unnecessary NULL point check in node allocations") leads a NULL pointer deference in cache_set_flush(). 1721 if (!IS_ERR_OR_NULL(c->root)) 1722 list_add(&c->root->list, &c->btree_cache); >From the above code in cache_set_flush(), if previous registration code fails before allocating c->root, it is possible c->root is NULL as what it is initialized. __bch_btree_node_alloc() never returns NULL but c->root is possible to be NULL at above line 1721. This patch replaces IS_ERR() by IS_ERR_OR_NULL() to fix this.

arch/powerpc/perf/core-book3s.c in the Linux kernel before 5.12.13, on systems with perf_event_paranoid=-1 and no specific PMU driver support registered, allows local users to cause a denial of service (perf_instruction_pointer NULL pointer dereference and OOPS) via a "perf record" command.

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel's drivers/gpu/drm/msm/msm_gem_submit.c code in the submit_lookup_cmds function, which fails because it lacks a check of the return value of kmalloc(). This issue allows a local user to crash the system.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s IP framework for transforming packets (XFRM subsystem). This issue may allow a malicious user with CAP_NET_ADMIN privileges to directly dereference a NULL pointer in xfrm_update_ae_params(), leading to a possible kernel crash and denial of service.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/mlx5e: Fix netif state handling mlx5e_suspend cleans resources only if netif_device_present() returns true. However, mlx5e_resume changes the state of netif, via mlx5e_nic_enable, only if reg_state == NETREG_REGISTERED. In the below case, the above leads to NULL-ptr Oops[1] and memory leaks: mlx5e_probe _mlx5e_resume mlx5e_attach_netdev mlx5e_nic_enable <-- netdev not reg, not calling netif_device_attach() register_netdev <-- failed for some reason.

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s IEEE 802.15.4 wireless networking subsystem in the way the user closes the LR-WPAN connection. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: Add null check for set_output_gamma in dcn30_set_output_transfer_func This commit adds a null check for the set_output_gamma function pointer in the dcn30_set_output_transfer_func function. Previously, set_output_gamma was being checked for nullity at line 386, but then it was being dereferenced without any nullity check at line 401. This could potentially lead to a null pointer dereference error if set_output_gamma is indeed null. To fix this, we now ensure that set_output_gamma is not null before dereferencing it. We do this by adding a nullity check for set_output_gamma before the call to set_output_gamma at line 401. If set_output_gamma is null, we log an error message and do not call the function. This fix prevents a potential null pointer dereference error. drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/dc/hwss/dcn30/dcn30_hwseq.c:401 dcn30_set_output_transfer_func() error: we previously assumed 'mpc->funcs->set_output_gamma' could be null (see line 386) drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/dc/hwss/dcn30/dcn30_hwseq.c 373 bool dcn30_set_output_transfer_func(struct dc *dc, 374 struct pipe_ctx *pipe_ctx, 375 const struct dc_stream_state *stream) 376 { 377 int mpcc_id = pipe_ctx->plane_res.hubp->inst; 378 struct mpc *mpc = pipe_ctx->stream_res.opp->ctx->dc->res_pool->mpc; 379 const struct pwl_params *params = NULL; 380 bool ret = false; 381 382 /* program OGAM or 3DLUT only for the top pipe*/ 383 if (pipe_ctx->top_pipe == NULL) { 384 /*program rmu shaper and 3dlut in MPC*/ 385 ret = dcn30_set_mpc_shaper_3dlut(pipe_ctx, stream); 386 if (ret == false && mpc->funcs->set_output_gamma) { ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ If this is NULL 387 if (stream->out_transfer_func.type == TF_TYPE_HWPWL) 388 params = &stream->out_transfer_func.pwl; 389 else if (pipe_ctx->stream->out_transfer_func.type == 390 TF_TYPE_DISTRIBUTED_POINTS && 391 cm3_helper_translate_curve_to_hw_format( 392 &stream->out_transfer_func, 393 &mpc->blender_params, false)) 394 params = &mpc->blender_params; 395 /* there are no ROM LUTs in OUTGAM */ 396 if (stream->out_transfer_func.type == TF_TYPE_PREDEFINED) 397 BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER(); 398 } 399 } 400 --> 401 mpc->funcs->set_output_gamma(mpc, mpcc_id, params); ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Then it will crash 402 return ret; 403 }

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: f2fs: check discard support for conventional zones As the helper function f2fs_bdev_support_discard() shows, f2fs checks if the target block devices support discard by calling bdev_max_discard_sectors() and bdev_is_zoned(). This check works well for most cases, but it does not work for conventional zones on zoned block devices. F2fs assumes that zoned block devices support discard, and calls __submit_discard_cmd(). When __submit_discard_cmd() is called for sequential write required zones, it works fine since __submit_discard_cmd() issues zone reset commands instead of discard commands. However, when __submit_discard_cmd() is called for conventional zones, __blkdev_issue_discard() is called even when the devices do not support discard. The inappropriate __blkdev_issue_discard() call was not a problem before the commit 30f1e7241422 ("block: move discard checks into the ioctl handler") because __blkdev_issue_discard() checked if the target devices support discard or not. If not, it returned EOPNOTSUPP. After the commit, __blkdev_issue_discard() no longer checks it. It always returns zero and sets NULL to the given bio pointer. This NULL pointer triggers f2fs_bug_on() in __submit_discard_cmd(). The BUG is recreated with the commands below at the umount step, where /dev/nullb0 is a zoned null_blk with 5GB total size, 128MB zone size and 10 conventional zones. $ mkfs.f2fs -f -m /dev/nullb0 $ mount /dev/nullb0 /mnt $ for ((i=0;i<5;i++)); do dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test bs=65536 count=1600 conv=fsync; done $ umount /mnt To fix the BUG, avoid the inappropriate __blkdev_issue_discard() call. When discard is requested for conventional zones, check if the device supports discard or not. If not, return EOPNOTSUPP.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: Check link_res->hpo_dp_link_enc before using it [WHAT & HOW] Functions dp_enable_link_phy and dp_disable_link_phy can pass link_res without initializing hpo_dp_link_enc and it is necessary to check for null before dereferencing. This fixes 2 FORWARD_NULL issues reported by Coverity.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: IB/mlx5: Fix UMR pd cleanup on error flow of driver init The cited commit moves the pd allocation from function mlx5r_umr_resource_cleanup() to a new function mlx5r_umr_cleanup().
