Vulnerability Details CVE-2025-39807
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/mediatek: Add error handling for old state CRTC in atomic_disable
Introduce error handling to address an issue where, after a hotplug
event, the cursor continues to update. This situation can lead to a
kernel panic due to accessing the NULL `old_state->crtc`.
E,g.
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address
