CVE-2022-49069

What it is

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: Fix by adding FPU protection for dcn30_internal_validate_bw [Why] Below general protection fault observed when WebGL Aquarium is run for longer duration. If drm debug logs are enabled and set to 0x1f then the issue is observed within 10 minutes of run.
