Original description

The description as published by the source.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/amd/display: check stream id dml21 wrapper to get plane_id

[Why & How]
Fix a false positive warning which occurs due to lack of correct checks
when querying plane_id in DML21. This fixes the warning when performing a
mode1 reset (cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/1/amdgpu_gpu_recover):

Response actions

Concrete steps and command examples for SOC/SRE teams to execute in order

1
Identify exposure identify
```
grep -r 'Kernel' . | grep -v node_modules
```
リポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で Kernel を grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。
2
Apply patch patch
```
Upgrade Kernel to 6.12.32, 6.14.10
```
ステージング環境で 6.12.32, 6.14.10 に上げて回帰テスト → 本番反映。回帰テストはアプリの主要ハッピーパスを含めること。
3
Post-deployment verification verify
```
Confirm patched version is live in production
```
パッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番ではアクセスログ・WAF でアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
