CVE-2026-98654CVE-2026-98654

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: Atomize IRQ register read/modify/write ops [Why] The OTG_GLOBAL_SYNC_STATUS register controls various HW IRQ sources for the output timing generator (OTG). VUPDATE_NO_LOCK is one of them. To enable the IRQ, driver sets the VUPDATE_NO_LOCK_EN bit in the GLOBAL_SYNC_STATUS register. To ack the IRQ after it fires, the driver sets the VUPDATE_NO_LOCK_CLEAR bit in the same GLOBAL_SYNC_STATUS register. The bit sets are done through read/modify/write operations, which are not atomic. Thus, the following race is possible: Thread A: IRQ handler: *HW IRQ fires* # IRQ disable val = read(GLOBAL_SYNC_STATUS) unset(val, VUPDATE_NO_LOCK_EN) write(val, GLOBAL_SYNC_STATUS) # ACK reads VUPDATE_NO_LOCK_EN unset val1 = read(GLOBAL_SYNC_STATUS)
