Summary

In the Linux kernel, in the drm/amdgpu driver, a limit of 128k entries per BO list has been introduced to prevent resource exhaustion. Userspace could pass an arbitrary number of entries, leading to excessive memory allocation and long processing times.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can cause memory exhaustion (up to gigabytes) and long processing times, leading to denial of service (DoS) in systems with AMD graphics cards.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix. Also monitor memory usage by the amdgpu driver.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: Limit BO list entry count to prevent resource exhaustion Userspace can pass an arbitrary number of BO list entries via the bo_number field. Although the previous multiplication overflow check prevents out-of-bounds allocation, a large number of entries could still cause excessive memory allocation (up to potentially gigabytes) and unnecessarily long list processing times. Introduce a hard limit of 128k entries per BO list, which is more than sufficient for any realistic use case (e.g., a single list containing all buffers in a large scene). This prevents memory exhaustion attacks and ensures predictable performance. Return -EINVAL if the requested entry count exceeds the limit (cherry picked from commit 688b87d39e0aa8135105b40dc167d74b5ada5332)
