Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu/vcn: set no_user_fence for VCN v3.0 enc/dec rings VCN encoder and decoder rings do not support 64-bit user fence writes, reject CS submissions with user fences. (cherry picked from commit 663bed3c7b8b9a7624b0d95d300ddae034ad0614) A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's AMDGPU driver, specifically within the Video Core Next (VCN) version 3.0 encoder and decoder rings.
A local user could trigger this by attempting to submit commands with 64-bit user fences, which would result in the rejection of these submissions, effectively causing a denial of service for those specific operations.
This vulnerability is rated as Moderate impact because exploitation requires local access on systems equipped with AMD graphics hardware utilizing VCN 3.0 IP blocks, limiting the blast radius strictly to a local denial of service.
The issue does not permit privilege escalation or exposure of confidential memory, as improper fence command processing only disrupts media ring operations. Additionally, enterprise server deployments lacking physical AMD GPU accelerators are unaffected by this flaw.
Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 5.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H). Weakness: CWE-1287.
Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.
