Summary

In the Linux kernel, the drm/amdkfd driver has an information leak vulnerability across processes. The kfd_smi_ev_enabled() function skips the privilege check for pid=0, and PROCESS_START, PROCESS_END, and VMFAULT events are emitted with pid=0 while carrying other processes' data. This allows users in the render group to monitor all GPU workloads.

Risk Assessment

Unauthorized users can observe GPU activity of other processes, compromising data confidentiality.

Recommendation

Apply a Linux kernel patch that passes the target process PID to the appropriate function and applies a per-client filter to restrict delivery to the owning process or CAP_SYS_ADMIN users.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdkfd: fix SMI event cross-process information leak kfd_smi_ev_enabled() skips the suser privilege check when pid=0. PROCESS_START, PROCESS_END, and VMFAULT events are emitted with pid=0 while carrying another process's PID and command name, so any /dev/kfd user in the render group can monitor all GPU workloads. Pass the target process PID into kfd_smi_event_add() for these events so the existing per-client filter restricts delivery to the owning process or CAP_SYS_ADMIN subscribers.
