In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/sysfb: Do not dereference NULL pointer in plane reset The plane state in __drm_gem_reset_shadow_plane() can be NULL. Do not deref that pointer, but forward NULL to the other plane-reset helpers. Clears plane->state to NULL. v2: - fix typo in commit description (Javier)
