AI-suggested
A patch is available and should be applied to affected Linux kernel versions. The fix has been incorporated in kernel releases 6.14.0-1007.7, 6.14.0-1014.14, and other specified versions. Users should update their Linux kernel to these or later versions to remediate the vulnerability. No additional mitigation steps are indicated beyond applying the official fix.
Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's AMD display driver related to Display Stream Compression (DSC) and HUBP power domain checks could cause system hangs due to undefined logic states. The issue arises when the HUBP domain required for DSC instances is not properly powered, potentially leading to system instability. This flaw has been addressed by adding additional checks to ensure the HUBP domain matches the DSC instance and is powered correctly. The vulnerability affects multiple Linux kernel versions and has a medium severity rating with a CVSS score of 5.5. A patch is available and has been incorporated into updated Linux kernel releases.
