Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2025-05-20 17:15 - Updated: 2026-06-17 09:15

Severity

5.5 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: Fix invalid context error in dml helper [Why] "BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context" error. after: "drm/amd/display: Protect FPU in dml2_validate()/dml21_validate()" The populate_dml_plane_cfg_from_plane_state() uses the GFP_KERNEL flag for memory allocation, which shouldn't be used in atomic contexts. The allocation is needed only for using another helper function get_scaler_data_for_plane(). [How] Modify helpers to pass a pointer to scaler_data within existing context, eliminating the need for dynamic memory allocation/deallocation and copying. (cherry picked from commit bd3e84bc98f81b44f2c43936bdadc3241d654259)

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.

Related by attack behaviour

Vulnerabilities whose description is nearest to this one in the vector space of the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-biencoder model. This is a similarity search over the bi-encoder space (plain cosine), not a classification, and it has no measured accuracy.
