Overview
About vulnerability
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm: Fix potential null-ptr-deref due to drmm_mode_config_init()
drmm_mode_config_init() will call drm_mode_create_standard_properties() and won’t check the ret value. When drm_mode_create_standard_properties() failed due to alloc, property will be a NULL pointer and may causes the null-ptr-deref. Fix the null-ptr-deref by adding the ret value check.
Found null-ptr-deref while testing insert module bochs:
general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address
0xdffffc000000000c: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN PTI
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000060-0x0000000000000067]
