Description SMASH SMASH 2024-05-31 14:54:38 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/amd/display: Skip on writeback when it's not applicable

[WHY]
dynamic memory safety error detector (KASAN) catches and generates error
messages "BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds" as writeback connector does not
support certain features which are not initialized.

[HOW]
Skip them when connector type is DRM_MODE_CONNECTOR_WRITEBACK.
