The issue\ncould occur when `head_pipe` is null.\n\nThe fix adds a check to ensure `head_pipe` is not null before asserting\nit. If `head_pipe` is null, the function returns NULL to prevent a\npotential null pointer dereference.\n\nReported by smatch:\ndrivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/dc/resource/dcn32/dcn32_resource.c:2690 dcn32_acquire_idle_pipe_for_head_pipe_in_layer() error: we previously assumed 'head_pipe' could be null (see line 2681)","modified":"2026-04-01T05:17:42.519282Z","published":"2024-10-21T18:15:14Z","upstream":["CVE-2024-49918"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-49918"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"kernel","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/kernel"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"6.6.126.1-1"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-51317.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"}]}
