Summary

In the Linux kernel, the AMD Display driver (drm/amd/display) function get_ss_info_from_atombios() used an uninitialized context for logging, leading to NULL pointer dereference during DC_LOG_SYNC() calls. Similar issues exist in dce112_get_pix_clk_dividers() and dcn3_get_pix_clk_dividers(). The fix changes the logging context to use the one from the clock source base.

Risk Assessment

The vulnerability could cause a system crash (kernel panic) during clock source initialization, potentially preventing proper display operation.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that uses the correct logging context in get_ss_info_from_atombios() and related functions.

Original NVD description (English source)

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_info_from_atombios() <- uses calc_pll_cs->ctx # BOOM -> calc_pll_max_vco_construct() <- sets calc_pll_cs->ctx After: dce110_clk_src_construct() does: -> sets clk_src->base.ctx = ctx; -> ss_info_from_atombios_create() -> get_ss_info_from_atombios() <- uses clk_src->base.ctx (cherry picked from commit 6f16fcbb0c46a87e3d9685407e906573d60104b0)
