Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu/sdma4.4.2: replace BUG_ON() with WARN_ON() There's no need to crash the kernel for these cases. (cherry picked from commit fa4f86a148271e325e95287630a3a15a9cd35fdc) A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's `amdgpu` graphics driver, specifically within the `sdma4.4.2` component.
This vulnerability could allow a local attacker to trigger a system crash by exploiting certain unhandled error conditions. The issue stems from the use of a `BUG_ON()` macro, which forces a kernel panic and results in a Denial of Service (DoS).
The resolution replaces this with a `WARN_ON()` macro, preventing the system from crashing while still logging the error. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 4.7 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H).
Weakness: CWE-617. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9; Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.
