Vulnerability Assessment

Exploitation Conditions	Exploitation requires three concurrent conditions: (1) the target system must have AMD GPU hardware present with the amdkfd kernel module loaded; (2) the attacking user must hold a valid local login or equivalent code execution context on the system; (3) the user must have permission to open /dev/kfd - on many distributions this is granted to members of the 'render' or 'video' group, not only root. The CVSS PR:L metric confirms that low-privilege (non-root) authenticated access is sufficient. Remote exploitation is not possible. Systems without AMD GPU hardware, those where amdkfd is not loaded, or where /dev/kfd is restricted to root-only access are fully protected from exploitation regardless of kernel version.
Impact	The NVD CVSS 5.5 (Medium) score accurately reflects the constrained attack surface: AV:L requires local system access, PR:L requires at minimum a non-root user account with permission to open /dev/kfd, and A:H reflects a kernel panic causing total system availability loss. The EPSS score of 0.16% at the 5th percentile strongly suggests negligible threat actor interest and no observed automated exploitation. No CISA KEV listing and no public exploit code has been identified. One data conflict warrants attention: the tag 'Information Disclosure' is inconsistent with the CVSS C:N metric - the CVSS vector is likely the authoritative signal here, indicating the primary impact is availability (crash), not data leakage; however, an out-of-bounds read prior to crash could theoretically expose kernel memory contents to the calling process. This potential secondary impact is unconfirmed from vendor data. Real-world risk is low to negligible for most deployments; it is meaningful only on Linux systems running AMD GPU compute workloads (HPC clusters, ML infrastructure, workstations with AMD discrete GPUs).
Exploit ScenarioDerived	A local user on a Linux system equipped with an AMD GPU opens the /dev/kfd device node and issues a crafted `kfd_ioctl_get_process_apertures_new` ioctl call with a maliciously oversized `num_of_nodes` value. The kernel accesses memory beyond the bounds of the expected node array without validation, triggering a kernel oops or panic that crashes the entire system. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 29, 2026

Missing upper bound validation on num_of_nodes in the AMD KFD ioctl handler kfd_ioctl_get_process_apertures_new allows a local low-privileged user with access to AMD GPU compute devices to crash the kernel, causing a denial of service. Affected are Linux kernel branches prior to 6.6.140, 6.12.90, 6.18.32, 7.0.9, and 7.1, restricted to systems with AMD GPU hardware and the amdkfd module loaded. EPSS is 0.16% (5th percentile), no public exploit or CISA KEV listing exists, and patched stable releases are available across all active stable branches.

RemediationAI

Update the Linux kernel to a patched stable release: 6.6.140, 6.12.90, 6.18.32, 7.0.9, or mainline 7.1. Upstream stable fixes are available at git.kernel.org (commits 4a8093c7def1, 6ba6ec5fcbb0, 44d5a450c04d, 7b80137eb8aa, 74b73fa56a39). Ubuntu users should apply the kernel packages referenced in USN-8574-1 at https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-8574-1. Where immediate patching is not feasible, restrict access permissions on /dev/kfd to only trusted users or groups via udev rules (e.g., MODE='0600', GROUP='render') - trade-off: this breaks ROCm/OpenCL access for non-privileged compute users. Alternatively, blacklist or unload the amdkfd module (rmmod amdkfd or add blacklist amdkfd to /etc/modprobe.d/) if AMD GPU compute is not required - trade-off: disables all AMD GPU compute workloads (ROCm, OpenCL, HIP) on the system.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The AMD Kernel Fusion Driver (amdkfd) is the Linux kernel compute driver enabling GPU compute workloads such as ROCm and OpenCL on AMD GPU hardware. The vulnerable function kfd_ioctl_get_process_apertures_new handles a userspace ioctl request to enumerate process memory apertures (GPU virtual address regions) across GPU nodes. Without an upper bound check on the caller-supplied num_of_nodes parameter, the kernel may perform out-of-bounds memory access - indexing or allocating beyond a fixed-size structure - when the value exceeds the maximum supported count. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:linux:linux:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* confirms the Linux kernel itself as the affected component. No CWE was formally assigned, but the root cause class is consistent with CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation) or CWE-129 (Improper Validation of Array Index), where unchecked userspace input directly controls kernel memory operations. Five separate stable-branch backport commits were applied at git.kernel.org (4a8093c7, 6ba6ec5f, 44d5a450, 7b80137e, 74b73fa5), indicating broad version impact across maintained stable trees.
