CVE-2025-39705
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: fix a Null pointer dereference vulnerability
[Why] A null pointer dereference vulnerability exists in the AMD display driver's (DC module) cleanup function dc_destruct(). When display control context (dc->ctx) construction fails (due to memory allocation failure), this pointer remains NULL. During subsequent error handling when dc_destruct() is called, there's no NULL check before dereferencing the perf_trace member (dc->ctx->perf_trace), causing a kernel null pointer dereference crash.
[How] Check if dc->ctx is non-NULL before dereferencing.
