What to do
AI-suggested
A fix has been implemented in the Linux kernel to add a null check in the affected function. Users should update their Linux kernel to a version that includes this fix. Since this is a kernel-level issue, applying the official kernel update from the vendor or distribution is the recommended remediation.
Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's AMD display driver was fixed by adding a null check to the wbscl_set_scaler_filter function. This prevents the function from being called with a null filter pointer, which could cause a null pointer dereference and lead to a denial of service. The fix addresses four null return issues identified by static analysis.
