CVE-2024-49898
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: Check null-initialized variables [WHAT & HOW] drr_timing and subvp_pipe are initialized to null and they are not always assigned new values.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.24%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
