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

drm/amdgpu: Skip vcn poison irq release on VF

VF doesn't enable VCN poison irq in VCNv2.5. Skip releasing it and avoid call trace during deinitialization.

AnalysisAI

Denial of service in Linux kernel drm/amdgpu driver (VCNv2.5) affects virtual function (VF) GPU environments running kernel versions prior to 6.18.16, 6.19.6, and 7.0. During module unload or system deinitialization, VF configurations trigger a kernel warning and potential crash when attempting to release an uninitialized VCN poison interrupt handler. EPSS exploitation probability is very low (0.02%, 4th percentile) with no public exploit or active exploitation (not in CISA KEV). Vendor patches available across multiple stable kernel branches via upstream commits.

Technical ContextAI

This vulnerability resides in the AMD GPU (amdgpu) Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) driver, specifically in the Video Core Next (VCN) 2.5 hardware acceleration component used for video encoding/decoding. In virtualized GPU environments using SR-IOV (Single Root I/O Virtualization), Virtual Functions (VFs) have a different initialization path than Physical Functions (PFs). The VCNv2.5 implementation does not enable the VCN poison interrupt for VFs during initialization, but the cleanup code in vcn_v2_5_hw_fini() unconditionally attempts to release this interrupt via amdgpu_irq_put(). This triggers a kernel WARNING at amdgpu_irq.c:641 because the interrupt source was never registered. The issue manifests during module removal (rmmod amdgpu) or GPU device teardown in virtualized environments where AMD GPUs are passed through to virtual machines or containers. The affected code path is visible in the call trace through vcn_v2_5_hw_fini() attempting cleanup operations that assume resources were initialized.

RemediationAI

Update to patched Linux kernel versions: 6.18.16 or later for the 6.18 stable series, 6.19.6 or later for the 6.19 series, or 7.0 and above for mainline kernels. Patches are available through standard distribution update channels-Ubuntu users should apply kernel updates via apt, Red Hat/RHEL via yum/dnf. Upstream fixes are committed in git.kernel.org stable branches at commits 8ee9aa80d4f1 (7.0), f1db6fc5a834 (6.18.16), and 8980be03b3f9 (6.19.6). The fix adds a conditional check to skip VCN poison interrupt release in VF configurations where it was never initialized. Workaround: if immediate patching is not feasible, avoid repeatedly unloading the amdgpu module in virtualized GPU environments-this limits exposure to the cleanup code path. For SR-IOV VF deployments, maintain persistent VF attachments rather than hot-plugging to minimize driver reinitialization cycles. Note that the workaround does not eliminate the bug but reduces trigger frequency; it introduces operational constraints on GPU management flexibility. No configuration changes can fully mitigate without the code fix since the issue is in driver logic during teardown.
