NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rv package and not the rv package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

drm/bridge: it6505: Initialize AUX channel in it6505_i2c_probe

During device boot, the HPD interrupt could be triggered before the DRM subsystem registers it6505 as a DRM bridge. In such cases, the driver tries to access AUX channel and causes NULL pointer dereference. Initializing the AUX channel earlier to prevent such error.
