DescriptionCVE.org

Unrestricted IP address binding in the AMD Device Metrics Exporter (ROCm ecosystem) could allow a remote attacker to perform unauthorized changes to the GPU configuration, potentially resulting in loss of availability

AnalysisAI

Remote unauthenticated manipulation of AMD Instinct GPU configuration is possible in the AMD Device Metrics Exporter (DME), a ROCm-ecosystem monitoring component, because the service binds to an unrestricted IP address and exposes its control surface network-wide. Any attacker able to reach the listening port can push unauthorized GPU configuration changes, degrading or denying availability of the affected AMD Instinct MI-series accelerator (MI210/MI250/MI250X/MI300A/MI300X/MI308X/MI325X/MI350X/MI355X). No public exploit is identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is low (0.20%), but the CVSS 4.0 base score of 9.2 reflects trivial network reachability with high availability impact.

Technical ContextAI

The AMD Device Metrics Exporter is part of the ROCm software stack and functions as a metrics/telemetry endpoint (Prometheus-style exporter) for AMD Instinct datacenter GPUs, allowing operators to scrape GPU health and configuration data. The root cause is CWE-1327 (Binding to an Unrestricted IP Address): rather than binding its listener to localhost or a restricted management interface, DME binds to a wildcard address (e.g. 0.0.0.0), exposing its interface to any host that can route to it. Because the exporter also permits configuration changes to the GPU, this over-broad binding converts what should be a local/management-plane monitoring service into a network-reachable control surface. The affected hardware spans the CDNA-based AMD Instinct MI210, MI250, MI250X, MI300A, MI300X, MI308X, MI325X, MI350X, and MI355X accelerators as enumerated in the CPE data.

RemediationAI

Apply the vendor fix: upgrade the AMD Device Metrics Exporter to DME v1.4.1.2 or v1.4.0.1 (the two patched release lines named by AMD for all affected Instinct MI-series GPUs), per AMD-SB-6031 (https://www.amd.com/en/resources/product-security/bulletin/AMD-SB-6031.html). Until patched, the most direct compensating control is to restrict where DME listens and who can reach it: configure the exporter to bind only to localhost or a dedicated management interface instead of the wildcard address, and enforce firewall/network-policy rules that permit access to the DME port only from trusted monitoring collectors - the trade-off is that remote scrapers on other subnets will lose access until allow-listed. In containerized/Kubernetes deployments, avoid publishing the DME port on host-wide interfaces and use a private ClusterIP/NetworkPolicy rather than NodePort/host networking. These controls reduce exposure but do not remediate the underlying binding flaw, so treat them as interim measures pending the upgrade.
