Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in Linux Kernel up to 5.15.167/6.1.112/6.6.54/6.10.13/6.11.2. This affects the function drm_client_modeset_probe of the component AMD Display. The impact remains unknown. The summary by CVE is:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: Fix system hang while resume with TBT monitor [Why] Connected with a Thunderbolt monitor and do the suspend and the system may hang while resume. The TBT monitor HPD will be triggered during the resume procedure and call the drm_client_modeset_probe() while struct drm_connector connector->dev->master is NULL. It will mess up the pipe topology after resume. [How] Skip the TBT monitor HPD during the resume procedure because we currently will probe the connectors after resume by default. (cherry picked from commit 453f86a26945207a16b8f66aaed5962dc2b95b85)
