Summary

In the Linux kernel, the AMDGPU DRM driver for GFX6 lacks PFP (pre-fetch parser) usage on compute queues. On GFX6, compute queues use the same CP path as graphics but without draw command support. The fix adds PFP usage for register writes, pipeline sync, and after VM flush to prevent execution issues.

Risk Assessment

Lack of PFP on compute queues can lead to synchronization errors, potentially causing system crashes or incorrect GPU behavior. This could be exploited to disrupt system operation.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel update containing this fix. If not possible, restrict GPU access to trusted users.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu/gfx6: Use PFP on the compute queues too On GFX6, the compute rings use the same CP path as the graphics ring. The only difference is that they don't support draw commands. (As opposed to GFX7 and newer which have a separate command parser that is called MEC for compute queues.) This means that we have to take into consideration that the PFP also exists on compute queues on GFX6: Use PFP for register writes on both graphics and compute queues. In the pipeline sync, use the PFP to wait for the previous fence (and not the ME) to prevent the PFP from starting to execute the next submission while the ME is still in the previous submission. After a VM flush, emit PFP_SYNC_ME on compute queues as well.
