drm/amd/display: dce100: skip non-DP stream encoders for DP MST

Type: advisorySource: OSV1 source record

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: dce100: skip non-DP stream encoders for DP MST On DCE8-class ASICs (e.g. Bonaire), the resource pool contains digital DIG stream encoders plus one analog DAC encoder. When assigning a stream encoder for a second DisplayPort MST stream, if the preferred digital encoder is already acquired, dce100_find_first_free_match_stream_enc_for_link() falls back to the first free pool entry. That entry may be the analog encoder, whose funcs table lacks DP hooks such as dp_set_stream_attribute. The subsequent atomic commit then dereferences NULL function pointers in link_set_dpms_on() and crashes. Skip encoders without dp_set_stream_attribute when the stream uses a DP signal (including MST). Use dc_is_dp_signal(stream->signal) for the MST fallback path instead of checking only the link connector signal. Tested on: - GPU: AMD Radeon R7 260X (Bonaire / DCE8) - Board: Supermicro C9X299-PG300 - Setup: DP MST daisy chain, hotplug second monitor or have it connected on boot - Kernel: 7.1.3 (issue observed since 6.19) - Result: kernel oops without patch; dual monitors stable with patch (cherry picked from commit 28ec64943e3ee4d9b8d30cea61e380f1429953a8)
