Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/amdgpu: validate user queue size constraints

Add validation to ensure user queue sizes meet hardware requirements:
- Size must be a power of two for efficient ring buffer wrapping
- Size must be at least AMDGPU_GPU_PAGE_SIZE to prevent undersized allocations

This prevents invalid configurations that could lead to GPU faults or
unexpected behavior.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Linux kernel previously did not validate AMDGPU user queue sizes, allowing sizes that were not powers of two or smaller than AMDGPU_GPU_PAGE_SIZE. Such misconfigurations can trigger GPU faults or cause unforeseen device behavior, disrupting processes that depend on GPU operations.

Affected Systems

The flaw affects Linux kernel builds that include the AMDGPU driver. Any kernel lacking the recent validation commit is vulnerable; the exact kernel release is not specified in the data.

Risk and Exploitability

CVSS score of 5.5 and EPSS score of < 1% are provided, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV. The description does not establish an explicit attack vector; it is inferred that exploitation requires local or privileged access to configure queue sizes at the kernel level. Consequently, the risk is primarily local unless a remote configuration pathway is discovered.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the Linux kernel to the latest revision that includes the AMDGPU queue size validation patch.
  • Update AMDGPU driver modules to the most recent stable release that incorporates the validation.
  • Blacklist legacy AMDGPU modules that lack the validation to prevent them from being loaded.
