[PATCH V2] drm/arm/malidp: fix a possible null pointer dereference

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In malidp_mw_connector_reset, new memory is allocated with kzalloc, but 
no check is performed. In order to prevent null pointer dereferencing, 
ensure that mw_state is checked before calling 
__drm_atomic_helper_connector_reset.

Fixes: 8cbc5caf36ef ("drm: mali-dp: Add writeback connector")

V2:
* In patch V2, we additionally set connector->state to NULL. In this way
we can ensure that there is no state pointing to freed memory.
  Thanks to Liviu Dudau for helpful suggestion.
