7.3 HIGH

Local access required with low privileges to open the accelerator device; overflow of copy_to_user yields kernel data exposure (C:H) and user-space buffer corruption (I:H).

vuln.today treats the vendor’s rating as authoritative. A higher third-party CVSS (e.g. CISA-ADP) is shown for transparency but does not drive the headline severity.

DescriptionCVE.org

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

accel/amdxdna: Adjust size for copy_to_user()

The amount of data returned to user space should be limited by the buffer size provided by the application. If the buffer is smaller than the data size, return only the portion that fits instead of failing.

AnalysisAI

Improper bounds enforcement in the Linux kernel's accel/amdxdna driver allows a local low-privileged user to trigger a kernel-to-userspace copy that exceeds the application-provided buffer size via a crafted ioctl call. The root cause is that copy_to_user() was using the kernel's internal data size rather than the caller-supplied buffer size to bound the copy, enabling overflow into adjacent userspace memory and exposure of unintended kernel data. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Obtain local shell on AMD Ryzen AI host
Delivery
Confirm /dev/accel node is accessible
Exploit
Open amdxdna device via ioctl interface
Execution
Supply crafted undersized user buffer
Persist
Trigger oversized copy_to_user copy
Impact
Read spilled kernel data or exploit user-space overflow

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The target system must be running a Linux kernel version that includes the vulnerable amdxdna driver (commit 850d71f6bf4c present, fix commits absent) on hardware equipped with an AMD XDNA NPU (Ryzen AI-series processor). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment Real-world risk is moderate-to-low despite the 7.3 CVSS score. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario A local user with low privileges on a workstation equipped with an AMD Ryzen AI processor opens the amdxdna accelerator device node and issues an ioctl with a carefully sized destination buffer smaller than the kernel's internal data structure. The kernel copies beyond the application buffer, spilling adjacent kernel data into user space or overwriting adjacent user-space memory, which an attacker could leverage to leak kernel addresses or corrupt process memory. …
Remediation Apply the upstream fix by upgrading to Linux kernel 7.1.5 or 7.2-rc1, which include the corrected copy_to_user() size logic for the amdxdna driver. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: scan infrastructure to identify systems with the Linux accel/amdxdna driver loaded and create a prioritized patch list by criticality. …
