Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/amd/display: Fix null pointer deref in dcn20_resource.c

Fixes a hang thats triggered when MPV is run on a DCN401 dGPU:

mpv --hwdec=vaapi --vo=gpu --hwdec-codecs=all

and then enabling fullscreen playback (double click on the video)

The following calltrace will be seen:

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
