CVE-2025-38038 Information

Jun 19, 2025 cve

Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

cpufreq: amd-pstate: Remove unnecessary driver_lock in set_boost

set_boost is a per-policy function call hence a driver wide lock is unnecessary. Also this mutex_acquire can collide with the mutex_acquire from the mode-switch path in status_store() which can lead to a deadlock. So remove it.
