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.
