AI-Generated

The vulnerability in the Linux kernel affects the AMDGPU graphics driver, specifically in the handling of domain combinations for GEM_CREATE operations. An attacker could exploit this flaw by improperly combining memory domains, potentially causing system crashes or instability due to exceeding maximum placement limits. Organizations utilizing Linux systems with AMDGPU drivers should prioritize patching this vulnerability to maintain system integrity and prevent potential disruptions.

Original NVD Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: validate GEM_CREATE domain combinations AMDGPU_GEM_CREATE checked domain bits against AMDGPU_GEM_DOMAIN_MASK, but did not validate domain combinations. Userspace could combine CPU|GTT|VRAM with DOORBELL, GDS, GWS, or OA, making amdgpu_bo_placement_from_domain() exceed AMDGPU_BO_MAX_PLACEMENTS and hit BUG_ON(). Allow combinations only within CPU/GTT/VRAM, and require non-CPU/GTT/ VRAM domains to be specified one at a time. Return -EINVAL for invalid combinations in amdgpu_gem_create_ioctl(). v2: Rename helper from amdgpu_gem_domain_valid() to amdgpu_gem_are_domains_valid() (Christian) (cherry picked from commit db39852d0c39843cb02048dfb47e4b8c703e9080)
