DescriptionCVE.org

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

drm/amdgpu: reject oversized IBs with per-ring packet limits

On GFX rings, amdgpu_cs_p2_ib() passed user-supplied ib_bytes through to ib->length_dw without a limit, while ring_emit_ib() encodes length into packet fields. Oversized values can corrupt adjacent control bits and destabilize command submission.

Add a per-ring IB packet size limit helper and reject command submissions exceeding the corresponding dword limit before IB allocation. Use the documented 20-bit limit for GFX/compute/SDMA/VPE, and apply the MM fallback limit for other ring types.

(cherry picked from commit 7f48fa2cf62e3fa6c9c3870aa74988f773247e52)

AnalysisAI

Missing bounds validation in the amdgpu DRM driver's GFX ring command submission path allows a local low-privileged user to submit oversized Indirect Buffer (IB) requests that corrupt adjacent control bits in GPU ring packet fields, destabilizing command submission and potentially achieving kernel memory corruption with scope-changing impact. Affected systems must have AMD GPU hardware and the amdgpu kernel module loaded; the vulnerability is present across multiple stable branches prior to Linux 6.12.105, 7.1.10, 6.18.46, and 7.2. …

Impact
Exploit kernel memory corruption to escalate privileges

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a local user-level account (PR:L) on a system running an unpatched Linux kernel with AMD GPU hardware present and the amdgpu kernel module loaded. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 8.8 score with AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H reflects a technically credible severity: exploitation is low-complexity and requires only a user-level shell on a system with an AMD GPU, with no user interaction needed. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario A local user with render group membership on an AMD GPU host opens the DRM render node (/dev/dri/renderD128) and submits a crafted DRM_IOCTL_AMDGPU_CS command buffer with an IB size value exceeding the 20-bit GFX packet field limit. The oversized value passes through amdgpu_cs_p2_ib() without rejection, and when encoded into the ring packet by ring_emit_ib(), it overflows into adjacent control bits in the GPU command ring. …
Remediation The primary remediation is to upgrade the Linux kernel to a patched stable release: 6.12.105, 7.1.10, 6.18.46, or 7.2, corresponding to upstream commits available at git.kernel.org/stable (6e164ba1, 1474f397, 07fe270e, fd37f9dd). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all Linux systems with AMD GPU hardware and determine their kernel versions to establish affected system count. …
