AMDKFD SVM ioctl buffer validation flaw

Publication date: 2026-05-28

Last updated on: 2026-06-10

Assigner: kernel.org

Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdkfd: validate SVM ioctl nattr against buffer size Validate nattr field against the buffer size, preventing out-of-bounds buffer access via user-controlled attribute count. (cherry picked from commit 5eca8bfdfa456c3304ca77523718fe24254c172f)

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel within the drm/amdkfd component. It involves improper validation of the 'nattr' field in the SVM ioctl call, where the attribute count was not properly checked against the buffer size.

Because the 'nattr' field was not validated correctly, it could lead to out-of-bounds buffer access when user-controlled attribute counts are used, potentially allowing an attacker to read or write memory outside the intended buffer.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can lead to out-of-bounds memory access in the Linux kernel, which may cause system instability, crashes, or potentially allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code or escalate privileges by manipulating kernel memory.
