Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu/vcn: set no_user_fence for VCN v5.0.1 enc ring VCN encoder and decoder rings do not support 64-bit user fence writes, reject CS submissions with user fences. (cherry picked from commit e16be95a2c3ee712b142cb27d2dca0b461181359) A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's AMD GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) Video Core Next (VCN) component.
A local attacker could potentially exploit this by submitting command streams (CS) with user fences, leading to the rejection of these submissions. This could result in a denial of service, preventing legitimate operations of the VCN component.
