Description
CVE-2024-53129 is a medium severity vulnerability in the Linux kernel's drm/rockchip driver. It involves a dereference of a variable before a proper null check, specifically the 'state' variable in the vop_plane_atomic_async_check() function. This flaw was addressed by ensuring the crtc_state is checked before dereferencing. The vulnerability does not impact confidentiality or integrity but can cause an availability issue due to improper handling of the null pointer.
