The vulnerability of the dpu_writeback_init() function in the drivers/gpu/drm/msm/disp/dpu1/dpu_writeback.c file of the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) driver in the Linux operating system’s kernel allows a malicious actor to cause a service failure.

The vulnerability of the dpuwritebackinit function in the drivers/gpu/drm/msm/disp/dpu1/dpuwriteback.c file of the Direct Rendering Infrastructure DRI driver in the Linux operating system is related to the swapping of pointers. Exploiting this vulnerability could allow an attacker to cause a...

CVE-2023-53284: NULL Pointer Dereference

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/msm/dpu: check for null return of devmkzalloc in dpuwritebackinit Because of the possilble failure of devmkzalloc, dpuwbconn might be NULL and will cause null pointer dereference later. Therefore, it might be better to check ...
