Description OSIDB Bzimport 2024-12-29 09:01:14 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/panel: himax-hx83102: Add a check to prevent NULL pointer dereference

drm_mode_duplicate() could return NULL due to lack of memory,
which will then call NULL pointer dereference. Add a check to
prevent it.
