CVE-2025-39705 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Minimos security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Minimos:latest.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream linux-virt-doc package and not the linux-virt-doc package as distributed by Minimos.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: fix a Null pointer dereference vulnerability
[Why] A null pointer dereference vulnerability exists in the AMD display driver's (DC module) cleanup function dc_destruct(). When display control context (dc->ctx) construction fails (due to memory allocation failure), this pointer remains NULL. During subsequent error handling when dc_destruct() is called, there's no NULL check before dereferencing the perf_trace member (dc->ctx->perf_trace), causing a kernel null pointer dereference crash.
[How] Check if dc->ctx is non-NULL before dereferencing.
(Updated commit text and removed unnecessary error message) (cherry picked from commit 9dd8e2ba268c636c240a918e0a31e6feaee19404)
