In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Fix null pointer deref in dcn20_resource.c
Fixes a hang thats triggered when MPV is run on a DCN401 dGPU:
mpv --hwdec=vaapi --vo=gpu --hwdec-codecs=all
and then enabling fullscreen playback (double click on the video)
The following calltrace will be seen:
