Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdkfd: Add upper bound check for num_of_nodes drm/amdkfd: Add upper bound check for num_of_nodes in kfd_ioctl_get_process_apertures_new. (cherry picked from commit 98ff46a5ea090c14d2cdb4f5b993b05d74f3949f) A flaw was found in the AMD Kernel Fusion Driver (AMDKFD) in the Linux kernel.
This vulnerability exists in the `kfd_ioctl_get_process_apertures_new` function, where a missing upper bound check for the `num_of_nodes` argument could allow a local attacker to provide an excessively large value. This could lead to an out-of-bounds read or write, potentially resulting in information disclosure or a denial of service to the system.
This vulnerability is rated as Moderate severity for Red Hat Enterprise Linux because exploitation requires local unprivileged access to the AMD compute interface and affects only environments equipped with supported AMD GPU hardware.
On systems running AMD graphics processing units, an authenticated user capable of issuing ioctls against the driver can trigger memory corruption through unbounded parameters, leading to a system crash or information leakage.
Systems without AMD accelerators or environments where device nodes for GPU compute are restricted to privileged accounts remain unaffected. Weakness: CWE-125.
