CVE-2022-50884 | drm: Prevent drm_copy_field() to attempt copying a NULL pointer

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm: Prevent drm_copy_field() to attempt copying a NULL pointer There are some struct drm_driver fields that are required by drivers since drm_copy_field() attempts to copy them to user-space via DRM_IOCTL_VERSION. But it can be possible that a driver has a bug and did not set some of the fields, which leads to drm_copy_field() attempting to copy a NULL pointer: [ +10.395966] Unable to handle kernel access to user memory outside uaccess routines at virtual address 0000000000000000 [ +0.010955] Mem abort info: [ +0.002835] ESR = 0x0000000096000004 [ +0.003872] EC = 0x25: DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits [ +0.005395] SET = 0, FnV = 0 [ +0.003113] EA = 0, S1PTW = 0 [ +0.003182] FSC = 0x04: level 0 translation fault [ +0.004964] Data abort info: [ +0.002919] ISV = 0, ISS = 0x00000004 [ +0.003886] CM = 0, WnR = 0 [ +0.003040] user pgtable: 4k pages, 48-bit VAs, pgdp=0000000115dad000 [ +0.006536] [0000000000000000] pgd=0000000000000000, p4d=0000000000000000 [ +0.006925] Internal error: Oops: 96000004 [#1] SMP ...
