[PATCH 6.1.y 1/2] drm/i915/hdcp: Add encoder check in intel_hdcp_get_capability
From: Artem Dinaburg

[ Upstream commit 31b42af516afa1e184d1a9f9dd4096c54044269a ]
Sometimes during hotplug scenario or suspend/resume scenario encoder is
not always initialized when intel_hdcp_get_capability add
a check to avoid kernel null pointer dereference.
[ Backport to 6.1.y: this tree uses the older intel_hdcp_capable()
helper name. Apply the same guard there; the code change is otherwise
unchanged. ]

Hi Greg, Sasha, and drm i915 maintainers,
I am working through the small CVE backports still missing from 6.1.y.
This one addresses CVE-2024-53051. It rejects the HDCP capability query
when hotplug or resume left the encoder unset.
The 6.6.y backport went out as the same 2-patch series and has been
picked up for 6.6.y. The fix is already present in 6.12.y, 6.18.y, and
7.2.y, but not in 6.1.y.
The target-specific adjustment is recorded in the bracketed note above.
Could you please queue it for 6.1.y?
CVE: CVE-2024-53051
Upstream: 31b42af516afa1e184d1a9f9dd4096c54044269a
AI assistance: An LLM helped identify, adapt, and validate this backport; I
reviewed the resulting code and validation evidence.
Thanks,
Artem Dinaburg
