Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's AMD GPU display driver (amdgpu_dm_fini function) could lead to a NULL pointer dereference due to improper NULL checks for the 'adev->dm.dc' pointer. This issue has been fixed by improving the NULL checks to prevent potential crashes. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 5.5, indicating a low severity denial of service impact. A patch is available and has been released by the vendor.
