How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:16.0.0 kernel-source to version 6.12.0-160000.27.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-source package and not the kernel-source package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:16.0.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/amd/pm: Disable MMIO access during SMU Mode 1 reset

During Mode 1 reset, the ASIC undergoes a reset cycle and becomes temporarily inaccessible via PCIe. Any attempt to access MMIO registers during this window (e.g., from interrupt handlers or other driver threads) can result in uncompleted PCIe transactions, leading to NMI panics or system hangs.

To prevent this, set the no_hw_access flag to true immediately after triggering the reset. This signals other driver components to skip register accesses while the device is offline.

A memory barrier smp_mb() is added to ensure the flag update is globally visible to all cores before the driver enters the sleep/wait state.

(cherry picked from commit 7edb503fe4b6d67f47d8bb0dfafb8e699bb0f8a4)
