In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/msm: Do not validate SSPP when it is not ready Current code will validate current plane and previous plane to confirm they can share a SSPP with multi-rect mode. The SSPP is already allocated for previous plane, while current plane is not associated with any SSPP yet. Null pointer is referenced when validating the SSPP of current plane. Skip SSPP validation for current plane. Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000020 Mem abort info: ESR = 0x0000000096000004 EC = 0x25: DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits SET = 0, FnV = 0 EA = 0, S1PTW = 0 FSC = 0x04: level 0 translation fault Data abort info: ISV = 0, ISS = 0x00000004, ISS2 = 0x00000000 CM = 0, WnR = 0, TnD = 0, Ta
