CVE-2022-50844 — Type Confusion in Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: Fix type of second parameter in odn_edit_dpm_table() callback With clang's kernel control flow integrity (kCFI, CONFIG_CFI_CLANG), indirect call targets are validated against the expected function pointer prototype to make sure the call target is valid to help mitigate ROP attacks.
