Subject: [PATCH v2] drm/amdgpu: Fix a NULL pointer dereference in amdgpu_connector_lcd_native_mode()
Date: Fri,  3 Dec 2021 00:17:36 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211202161738.79176-1-zhou1615@umn.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CADnq5_P8amQK60zD-2tkVWBneZCoLENe5KY_S6eqoAAyOieatg@mail.gmail.com>

In amdgpu_connector_lcd_native_mode(), the return value of
drm_mode_duplicate() is assigned to mode, and there is a dereference
of it in amdgpu_connector_lcd_native_mode(), which will lead to a NULL
pointer dereference on failure of drm_mode_duplicate().

Fix this bug add a check of mode.

This bug was found by a static analyzer. The analysis employs
differential checking to identify inconsistent security operations
(e.g., checks or kfrees) between two code paths and confirms that the
inconsistent operations are not recovered in the current function or
the callers, so they constitute bugs.

Note that, as a bug found by static analysis, it can be a false
positive or hard to trigger. Multiple researchers have cross-reviewed
the bug.

Builds with CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU=m show no new warnings, and
our static analyzer no longer warns about this code.
