Summary

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's AMD GPU driver (amdgpu/drm) affects the dcn30_internal_validate_bw function. Missing FPU protection during swath width calculations (CalculateSwathWidth) can lead to a general protection fault, causing system crashes during prolonged WebGL Aquarium usage, especially with DRM debug logs enabled.

Risk Assessment

The vulnerability can cause system instability (kernel panic) on systems with AMD graphics cards, particularly when running WebGL applications. It cannot be exploited remotely but may lead to denial of service (DoS) in environments where users run such applications.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix (adding FPU protection for dcn30_internal_validate_bw). If updating is not possible, restrict WebGL application usage on AMD GPU systems and disable DRM debug logging (drm.debug=0).

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: Fix by adding FPU protection for dcn30_internal_validate_bw [Why] Below general protection fault observed when WebGL Aquarium is run for longer duration. If drm debug logs are enabled and set to 0x1f then the issue is observed within 10 minutes of run.
