CVE-2023-52821

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: drm/panel: corrige una posible desreferencia del puntero null. En versatile_panel_get_modes(), el valor de retorno de drm_mode_duplicate() se asigna al modo, lo que conducirá a una desreferencia del puntero NULL en caso de falla de drm_mode_duplicate(). Agregue una marca para evitar npd.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/panel: fix a possible null pointer dereference In versatile_panel_get_modes(), the return value of drm_mode_duplicate() is assigned to mode, which will lead to a NULL pointer dereference on failure of drm_mode_duplicate(). Add a check to avoid npd.

Ziming Zhang discovered that the DRM driver for VMware Virtual GPU did not properly handle certain error conditions, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. A local attacker could possibly trigger this vulnerability to cause a denial of service. Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
