Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: Fix kernel panic during driver load failure
Avoid kernel panic if MES init fails during driver load. The KIQ ring is
falsely marked as ready as ASICs that use MES, KIQ is owned by MES.
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
