NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-doc package and not the kernel-doc package as distributed by Rocky-Linux. See How to fix? for Rocky-Linux:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

drm/radeon: check bo_va->bo is non-NULL before using it

The call to radeon_vm_clear_freed might clear bo_va->bo, so we have to check it before dereferencing it.
