Add upper bound check for num_of_nodes
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. Red Hat severity: not rated. Weakness: CWE-125.
What this means
In plain English
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. The official description requires local access to the affected system. Information disclosure can expose data available to the affected component beyond its intended authorization boundary.
