Summary

In the Linux kernel, a bug in the AMD Display driver (DCN32) causes a kernel crash when allocating memory for phantom planes. The issue occurs because dcn32_enable_phantom_plane() calls kvzalloc() within a softirq-disabled region, triggering BUG_ON(in_interrupt()).

Risk Assessment

A local attack or system malfunction can trigger a kernel panic during display management operations in DCN32 mode, leading to system downtime and potential data loss.

Recommendation

Apply the patch containing commit 885ccbef7b94a8b38f69c4211c679021aa27ad11 or update the Linux kernel to a version that includes this fix. As a workaround, limit the use of phantom plane functionality in DCN32 configuration.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: Wrap DCN32 phantom-plane allocation in DC_RUN_WITH_PREEMPTION_ENABLED [Why] dcn32_validate_bandwidth() wraps dcn32_internal_validate_bw() with DC_FP_START()/DC_FP_END(). In x86 non-RT, DC_FP_START takes fpregs_lock(), which disables local softirqs. The DML1 path through dcn32_enable_phantom_plane() calls kvzalloc() to allocate ~335 KiB for dc_plane_state. This triggers the vmalloc path, which calls BUG_ON(in_interrupt()) because it's invoked within the FPU-enabled (softirq disabled) region, leading to a kernel crash. [How] Wrap the dc_state_create_phantom_plane() call with the DC_RUN_WITH_PREEMPTION_ENABLED() macro to allow preemption during this memory allocation. (cherry picked from commit 885ccbef7b94a8b38f69c4211c679021aa27ad11)
