{"id":"CVE-2025-38038","summary":"cpufreq: amd-pstate: Remove unnecessary driver_lock in set_boost","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ncpufreq: amd-pstate: Remove unnecessary driver_lock in set_boost\n\nset_boost is a per-policy function call, hence a driver wide lock is\nunnecessary. Also this mutex_acquire can collide with the mutex_acquire\nfrom the mode-switch path in status_store(), which can lead to a\ndeadlock. So, remove it.","modified":"2026-03-20T12:42:38.428877Z","published":"2025-06-18T09:33:24.178Z","related":["SUSE-SU-2025:21074-1","SUSE-SU-2025:21139-1","SUSE-SU-2025:21179-1","openSUSE-SU-2025:20081-1"],"database_specific":{"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2025/38xxx/CVE-2025-38038.json","cna_assigner":"Linux"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/61e931ee145eeab8196e585ff4334870b130b744"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/cd347d071713234586762d79c5a691785e9be418"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/db1cafc77aaaf871509da06f4a864e9af6d6791f"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2025/38xxx/CVE-2025-38038.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-38038"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"ec437d71db77a181227bf6d0ac9d4a80e58ecf0f"},{"fixed":"61e931ee145eeab8196e585ff4334870b130b744"},{"fixed":"cd347d071713234586762d79c5a691785e9be418"},{"fixed":"db1cafc77aaaf871509da06f4a864e9af6d6791f"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2025-38038.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5"}
