Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: Fix the null pointer when load rlc firmware If the RLC firmware is invalid because of wrong header size, the pointer to the rlc firmware is released in function amdgpu_ucode_request. There will be a null pointer error in subsequent use. So skip validation to fix it. A vulnerability was found in the drm/amdgpu driver of Linux Kernel, causing null pointer dereference when attempting to load RLC (Run-Length Coding) firmware. This issue arises if the firmware has an incorrect header size, causing premature release of the firmware pointer in amdgpu_ucode_request(), subsequently attempts to use the nullified pointer result in errors.
