A vulnerability was found in the drm/amdgpu driver of Linux Kernel, causing null pointer dereference when attempting to load RLC (Run-Length Coding) firmware. This issue arises if the firmware has an incorrect header size, causing premature release of the firmware pointer in amdgpu_ucode_request(), subsequently attempts to use the nullified pointer result in errors.
Red Hat has investigated whether a possible mitigation exists for this issue, and has not been able to identify a practical example. Please update the affected package as soon as possible.
