What to do
AI-suggested
A fix for this vulnerability has been implemented and merged into the Linux kernel source. Users should update their Linux kernel to a version that includes the commit f8ad62c0a93e5dd94243e10f1b742232e4d6411e or later to remediate this issue. No additional mitigation steps are required once the patch is applied.
Description
CVE-2025-38091 is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel's AMD GPU display driver component related to incorrect checks when querying the plane_id in the DML21 wrapper. This flaw caused false positive warnings during mode1 reset operations, potentially leading to system instability or crashes. The issue has been fixed by adding proper validation checks in the affected code.
