Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/amd/display: Fix null pointer deref in dcn20_resource.c

Fixes a hang thats triggered when MPV is run on a DCN401 dGPU:

mpv --hwdec=vaapi --vo=gpu --hwdec-codecs=all

and then enabling fullscreen playback (double click on the video)

The following calltrace will be seen:
