Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-98389)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-98389). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: skip gfx switch_power_profile during GPU reset
During resume from GPU reset, the gfx idle work may invoke switch_power_profile
before the reset completes. This causes the following assert error because the
register access occurs without first releasing the GPU reset semaphore:
