| Name | CVE-2024-50156 |
| Description | In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm: Avoid NULL dereference in msm_disp_state_print_regs()
If the allocation in msm_disp_state_dump_regs() failed then
`block->state` can be NULL. The msm_disp_state_print_regs() function
_does_ have code to try to handle it with:
if (*reg)
dump_addr = *reg;
...but since "dump_addr" is initialized to NULL the above is actually
a noop. The code then goes on to dereference `dump_addr`.
Make the function print "Registers not stored" when it sees a NULL to
solve this. Since we're touching the code, fix
msm_disp_state_print_regs() not to pointlessly take a double-pointer
and properly mark the pointer as `const`.
