Overview

CVE-2024-53201 is a medium-severity vulnerability. It was published on December 27, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5 (MEDIUM).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5, rated MEDIUM. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

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

drm/amd/display: Fix null check for pipe_ctx->plane_state in dcn20_program_pipe

This commit addresses a null pointer dereference issue in

dcn20_program_pipe(). Previously, commit 8e4ed3cf1642 ("drm/amd/display:

Add null check for pipe_ctx->plane_state in dcn20_program_pipe")

partially fixed the null pointer dereference issue. However, in

dcn20_update_dchubp_dpp(), the variable pipe_ctx is passed in, and

plane_state is accessed again through pipe_ctx. Multiple if statements

directly call attributes of plane_state, leading to potential null

pointer dereference issues. This patch adds necessary null checks to

ensure stability.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
