In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf/x86/amd: Check event before enable to avoid GPF
On AMD machines cpuc->events[idx] can become NULL in a subtle race
condition with NMI->throttle->x86_pmu_stop().
Check event for NULL in amd_pmu_enable_all() before enable to avoid a GPF.
This appears to be an AMD only issue.
Syzkaller reported a GPF in amd_pmu_enable_all.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: perf/x86/amd: Check event before enable to avoid GPF On AMD machines cpuc->events[idx] can become NULL in a subtle race condition with NMI->throttle->x86_pmu_stop(). Check event for NULL in amd_pmu_enable_all() before enable to avoid a GPF. This appears to be an AMD only issue. Syzkaller reported a GPF in amd_pmu_enable_all.

CVE-2025-68798 perf/x86/amd: Check event before enable to avoid GPF
perf/x86/amd: Check event before enable to avoid GPF
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf/x86/amd: Check event before enable to avoid GPF
On AMD machines cpuc->events[idx] can become NULL in a subtle race
condition with NMI->throttle->x86_pmu_stop().
Check event for NULL in amd_pmu_enable_all() before enable to avoid a GPF.
This appears to be an AMD only issue.
Syzkaller reported a GPF in amd_pmu_enable_all.
