Linux Kernel Null Pointer Dereference Vulnerability in AMD Display Component

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's AMD display component could lead to a null pointer dereference. This issue arises because, in certain situations, the resource pool pointer may be null. The vulnerability has been addressed by adding a check to ensure the pointer is not null before it is dereferenced.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to a null pointer dereference, causing a kernel crash or potentially allowing for arbitrary code execution in kernel space.
