medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 460774

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: Add NULL check for
 clk_mgr and clk_mgr->funcs in dcn401_init_hw This commit addresses a potential null pointer dereference
 issue in the `dcn401_init_hw` function. The issue could occur when `dc->clk_mgr` or `dc->clk_mgr->funcs`
 is null. The fix adds a check to ensure `dc->clk_mgr` and `dc->clk_mgr->funcs` is not null before
 accessing its functions. This prevents a potential null pointer dereference. Reported by smatch:
 drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/dc/hwss/dcn401/dcn401_hwseq.c:416 dcn401_init_hw() error: we
 previously assumed 'dc->clk_mgr' could be null (see line 225) (CVE-2024-49916)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.11.4-1 or later.
