AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability involved a BUG_ON assertion in the amdgpu SDMA component of the Linux kernel. When a specific condition occurred, the assertion caused the kernel to panic, resulting in a system crash. The identified fix replaced the BUG_ON with WARN_ON, turning the hard crash into a warning and allowing the system to continue running. The primary impact was a denial of service through kernel panic.

Affected Systems

The issue affects Linux kernels that incorporate the amdgpu SDMA 4.4.2 module. No specific version range is listed; any kernel build that contains the faulty BUG_ON path before the commit that replaced it is considered affected. The patch is integrated into recent kernel releases following the referenced commit.

Risk and Exploitability

The EPSS score is <1%, indicating a very low exploitation probability, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The CVSS score of 4.7 categorizes the issue as medium severity, suggesting moderate risk for local users capable of triggering the condition.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Linux kernel to a release that includes the commit replacing BUG_ON with WARN_ON in the amdgpu SDMA component.
  • If applying a custom kernel build, audit the amdgpu source code to confirm that no remaining BUG_ON statements exist in the SDMA path.
  • As a temporary measure, disable SDMA support by adjusting the driver configuration or recompiling the driver without the SDMA component until a full kernel update can be applied.
