CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability affects the Linux kernel's amdgpu driver, specifically in the `amdgpu_coredump()` function, where a race condition can lead to a slab-out-of-bounds write. This occurs when the number of unsignalled fences is miscalculated due to concurrent updates, potentially allowing an attacker to overwrite memory beyond allocated buffers, which could lead to system instability or crashes. Organizations utilizing Linux systems with AMD GPUs should prioritize addressing this issue to mitigate potential risks associated with GPU resets and memory corruption.
Original NVD Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: fix KASAN slab-out-of-bounds in amdgpu_coredump ring dump The ring content dump in amdgpu_coredump() uses two separate loops over adev->rings[]: the first counts rings with unsignalled fences to size the allocation, and the second copies ring data into the allocated buffers. Both loops use the same condition to skip rings: atomic_read(&ring->fence_drv.last_seq) == ring->fence_drv.sync_seq Because last_seq is an atomic that is updated concurrently by the fence signalling path, additional rings may appear unsignalled in the second loop that were signalled during the first. When this happens, idx exceeds the allocated ring_count and the store to coredump->rings[idx] writes past the end of the kcalloc-ed buffer. This was found during IGT stressful test amd_queue_reset which triggers random GPU resets. The OVERSIZE subtest (CMD_STREAM_EXEC_INVALID_PACKET_LENGTH_OVERSIZE on GFX ring) provokes a ring timeout and subsequent coredump, which hits the race between the counting and copying loops. The failure is non-deterministic and depends on fence signalling timing during the reset.

Fix by adding an idx < ring_count guard to the copy loop so it cannot exceed the allocated count even when the fence state changes between the two passes.
