Comment 1 Takashi Iwai 2019-07-04 10:47:08 UTC

Any further information about this?

Comment 2 Takashi Iwai 2019-07-23 15:03:30 UTC

Also can anyone reproduce the problem on our kernels?  I tried it but have never seen Oops.

Comment 3 Robert Frohl 2019-11-18 10:32:55 UTC

Still no new information found concerning this. Will keep it on my todo list.

Comment 4 Takashi Iwai 2020-05-15 11:50:56 UTC

I guess we can close this; the provided PoC never worked on our kernels and i915 devices as far as I've tested, and the influence of this bug is very limited.

Comment 5 Takashi Iwai 2020-05-15 11:51:34 UTC

Reassigned back to security team.

If it's still needed to be tracked, please reassign back -- but with more information :)

Comment 6 Robert Frohl 2020-08-25 08:28:11 UTC

just checked again if there was anything new, I think there wont be anything else. Closing
