Summary

In the Linux kernel's amdgpu driver, a vulnerability was found due to missing bounds check on user-supplied num_entries in GEM_OP GET_MAPPING_INFO. An attacker can supply an excessively large num_entries, causing massive memory allocation, a kernel WARNING, and panic on systems with CONFIG_PANIC_ON_WARN=y.

Risk Assessment

The risk is a local denial-of-service (DoS) attack where an unprivileged user can trigger a kernel panic, crashing the system. This affects servers and workstations with AMD graphics cards.

Recommendation

Apply the patch from commit 1fe7bf5457f6efd7be60b17e23163ba54341d73d or update the Linux kernel to a fixed version. As a workaround, restrict local access to trusted users only.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: check num_entries in GEM_OP GET_MAPPING_INFO kvcalloc(args->num_entries, sizeof(*vm_entries), GFP_KERNEL) at amdgpu_gem.c:1050 uses the user-supplied num_entries directly without any upper bounds check. Since num_entries is a __u32 and sizeof(drm_amdgpu_gem_vm_entry) is 32 bytes, a large num_entries produces an allocation exceeding INT_MAX, triggering WARNING in __kvmalloc_node_noprof(), causing a kernel WARNING, TAINT_WARN, and panic on CONFIG_PANIC_ON_WARN=y systems. Add a size bounds check before we invoke the kvzalloc() to reject oversized num_entries early with -EINVAL. (cherry picked from commit 1fe7bf5457f6efd7be60b17e23163ba54341d73d)
