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

    drm/msm/dpu: Fix error pointers in dpu_plane_virtual_atomic_check

    The function dpu_plane_virtual_atomic_check was dereferencing pointers
    returned by drm_atomic_get_plane_state without checking for errors. This
    could lead to undefined behavior if the function returns an error pointer.

    This commit adds checks using IS_ERR to ensure that plane_state is
    valid before dereferencing them.
