CVE-2026-80704

Technical Description

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

drm/amd/display: use proper context for logging

The same as the rest of the code, get_ss_info_from_atombios() uses

calc_pll_cs->ctx->logger for logging. But calc_pll_cs->ctx is

initialized only later in calc_pll_max_vco_construct(). Therefore, any

output using DC_LOG_SYNC() leads to a NULL pointer deference in

get_ss_info_from_atombios().

According to Sashiko, the very same problem exists in

dce112_get_pix_clk_dividers() and dcn3_get_pix_clk_dividers() too.

To avoid accessing the NULL context, use clk_src->base.ctx->logger

everywhere. That context in base is initialized earlier in

dce110_clk_src_construct() and dce112_clk_src_construct(). Before

get_ss_info_from_atombios() or Sashiko's get_pix_clk_dividers functions

above are actually called. This is done by redefining DC_LOGGER to

CTX->logger.

Before:

dce110_clk_src_construct() did:

-> sets clk_src->base.ctx = ctx;

-> ss_info_from_atombios_create()

-> get_ss

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.
