Background
The linux-libc-dev package is a development package that provides the necessary header files and libraries for compiling C programs that use the Linux kernel interfaces. It is an essential component for building and running applications on Linux systems. This vulnerability affects the linux-libc-dev package version 6.1.90-1.
Vulnerability Detail
The vulnerability in the linux-libc-dev package is related to the drm/amd/display component in the Linux kernel. It involves a race condition where the DMCUB (Display Microcontroller Unit Block) is in the process of committing to IPS1 (Integrated Power State 1) during a handshake, causing a transition miss into IPS2 and resulting in a hardware hang. The vulnerability can be exploited by an attacker to cause a denial of service (hang) on the affected system. The issue has been resolved by disabling the idle reallow as part of command/gpint execution.
