CVE-2025-68228 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/plane: Fix create_in_format_blob() return value create_in_format_blob() is either supposed to return a valid pointer or an error, but never NULL. The caller will dereference the blob when it is not an error, and thus will oops if NULL returned. Return proper error values in the failure cases.
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) plane handling has been addressed. The issue arose in the 'create_in_format_blob()' function, which is supposed to return a valid pointer or an error, but not NULL. A NULL return value could lead to a NULL pointer dereference, causing a system crash. The vulnerability affects the Linux kernel stable tree.
