I suspect that it is related to the GPU, especially under heavy load.
It is an Intel Xe GPU in a Dell Latitude 7450 notebook.

General Question. the latest CVE in Linux was fixed across all recent releases. how do you "do" that in git? I mean the fixing across versions. Do you implement it in the most recent version and then you cherry pick it up?
Are there best practices? can anyone recommend a Video?
#DuckDuckFedi

Tech companies seem to be running a cycle:
1. They don't realize how much they're relying on volunteer-maintained projects.
2. Something bad happens and they suddenly decide they need to support this critical infrastructure, often by hiring some people behind it and making its maintenance part of their dayjob.
3. They realize they could save money by exploiting volunteers to maintain these #OpenSource projects. They lay workers off or move them to other projects.
4. Go to 1.
Except now they're trying to replace workers with slop machines, deskill everyone and basically they're not only poisoning the well, but killing the whole water cycle. And they're realizing that they just gave the bad people a tool that can quickly find just how vulnerable their critical infrastructure is.
Really appreciate the long-term thinking there.

LinuxBoot is the concept of using a Linux kernel and initramfs as a bootloader. The linuxboot repository contains a build system implementing LinuxBoot primarily targeting servers and PCs, which started as NERF in January 2017 at Google. Why? Improves boot reliability by replacing lightly-tested firmware drivers with hardened Linux drivers. Improves boot time by removing unnecessary code. Typically makes boot 20 times faster. Allows customization of the initrd runtime to support site-specific…

If it wasn't enough that we have to keep building new kernels every day and backport vulnerability fixes to older LTS branches, now we also have to deal with upstream doing random backports that are completely broken and never bothering to actually even check if they build.

Local privilege escalation in #Linux Kernel.
https://github.com/v12-security/pocs/tree/main/fragnesia

I've finally finished pushing the latest update for #Gentoo Distribution Kernels, and requested their stabilization. This includes upstream releases 7.0.9, 6.18.32, 6.12.90 and 6.6.140; and Gentoo patch bumps 6.1.173_p1, 5.15.207_p1 and 5.10.256_p1.
All of these contain the v5 #Fragnesia patch. And yes, while the exploit is in the wild, upstream still hasn't merged a fix to the mainline kernel, let alone all the LTS branches. Of course, the patch keeps covering more holes, but it would really be preferable to do that as a followup instead of leaving people vulnerable and forcing us to keep rebasing it.
They also include a few reverts in 6.18 and 6.6 for broken PowerPC backports that upstream didn't apparently test. 🤷
We're doing our best, but I'd still recommend running the latest 7.0.x kernel, or LTS 6.18.x, because upstream is far from reliable with the backports.
