AI-suggested
A patch is available and included in Linux kernel versions 7.0.0-31.31 and later. Users should upgrade to these or newer fixed versions to resolve the issue. No additional mitigation actions are required as the fix addresses the root cause.
Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's drm/xe/display driver caused a NULL pointer dereference (oops) during suspend or shutdown when no display hardware is present or disabled. This occurs because the driver incorrectly handles display probing and initialization states, leading to calls on uninitialized display configurations. The issue has been fixed in Linux kernel versions 7.0.0-31.31 and later.
