### Official description

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.

[How]
It calles populate_dml_pipes which uses doubles to initialize.
Adding FPU protection avoids context switch and probable loss of vba context
as there is potential contention while drm debug logs are enabled.

## Fix prompt for AI coding agents

```text
Check this codebase for CVE-2022-49069 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2022-49069 is a medium-severity denial of service vulnerability in Linux kernel, published on 26 Feb 2025. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-49069 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
