DescriptionNVD

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

drm/amdkfd: Fix out-of-bounds write in kfd_event_page_set()

The kfd_event_page_set() function writes KFD_SIGNAL_EVENT_LIMIT * 8 bytes via memset without checking the buffer size parameter. This allows unprivileged userspace to trigger an out-of bounds kernel memory write by passing a small buffer, leading to potential privilege escalation.

AnalysisAI

Out-of-bounds kernel memory write in Linux kernel's AMD KFD (Kernel Fusion Driver) allows local authenticated attackers with low privileges to escalate to root privileges. The kfd_event_page_set() function performs unchecked memset operations of fixed size (KFD_SIGNAL_EVENT_LIMIT * 8 bytes) regardless of user-supplied buffer size, enabling unprivileged userspace processes to corrupt kernel memory. …

Sign in for full analysis, threat intelligence, and remediation guidance.

RemediationAI

Within 24 hours: Identify Linux systems with AMD GPUs and amdkfd driver active using 'modprobe -n -v amdkfd' and 'lsmod | grep kfd'. Within 7 days: Apply vendor-released kernel patches (5.10.252, 5.15.202, 6.1.165, 6.6.128, 6.12.75, 6.18.16, 6.19.6, or 7.0 depending on current kernel branch) via standard kernel update procedures and reboot affected systems. …
