Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: Add null check for set_output_gamma in dcn30_set_output_transfer_func This commit adds a null check for the set_output_gamma function pointer
in the dcn30_set_output_transfer_func function. Previously,
set_output_gamma was being checked for nullity at line 386, but then it
was being dereferenced without any nullity check at line 401. This
could potentially lead to a null pointer dereference error if
set_output_gamma is indeed null. To fix this, we now ensure that set_output_gamma is not null before
dereferencing it. We do this by adding a nullity check for
set_output_gamma before the call to set_output_gamma at line 401. If
set_output_gamma is null, we log an error message and do not call the
function. This fix prevents a potential null pointer dereference error. drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/dc/hwss/dcn30/dcn30_hwseq.c:401 dcn30_set_output_transfer_func()

Andy Nguyen discovered that the Bluetooth L2CAP implementation in the Linux kernel contained a type-confusion error. A physically proximate remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Andy Nguyen discovered that the Bluetooth A2MP implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize memory in some situations. A physically proximate remote attacker could use this to expose sensitive information.
