Linux Kernel HDMI Null Pointer Dereference Vulnerability

Vulnerability

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's HDMI driver for the DRM MSM subsystem can lead to a null pointer dereference. This issue arises because the code does not properly check the return value of the 'platform_get_resource_byname()' function. If this function returns NULL, it can cause a null pointer dereference, potentially leading to a system crash or other unintended behavior.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability causes a null pointer dereference, which can lead to a system crash or other instability.
