Null Pointer Dereference Vulnerability in Linux Kernel's AMD Display Driver

CVE-2025-39762

What is CVE-2025-39762?

In the Linux kernel, a vulnerability within the AMD display driver has been addressed by implementing an early null check. This enhancement prevents null pointer dereferences, thereby improving the overall robustness of the function. A return false condition is triggered for invalid inputs, which reinforces system stability and mitigates potential exploitation risks.
