NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel package and not the kernel package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/amd/display: check if ext_caps is valid in BL setup

LVDS connectors don't have extended backlight caps so check if the pointer is valid before accessing it.
