AI-Generated

The vulnerability affects the Linux kernel's handling of restored object IDs during the CRIU (Checkpoint/Restore In Userspace) process for GPU event and memory restoration. If a user-supplied ID exceeds the signed integer limit, it can lead to a kernel warning, potentially causing system instability or crashes, particularly on systems configured to panic on warnings. Administrators and developers managing Linux systems with GPU capabilities should prioritize addressing this issue to ensure system reliability and prevent unexpected failures.

Original NVD Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdkfd: Validate CRIU-restored IDs before idr_alloc The KFD CRIU restore flow restores previously saved object IDs from userspace. For event restore: kfd_criu_restore_event() -> create_signal_event() / create_other_event() -> allocate_event_notification_slot() -> idr_alloc(..., *restore_id, *restore_id + 1, ...) For BO restore: criu_restore_memory_of_gpu() -> idr_alloc(..., bo_priv->idr_handle, ...) In both cases, the restored ID comes from userspace-provided CRIU data. idr_alloc() expects the ID range values to fit within signed int limits. If a restored ID is larger than INT_MAX, it can trigger a WARN in the IDR layer. A kernel WARN is undesirable because it prints a warning trace and may cause a panic or reboot on systems with panic_on_warn enabled. Smatch reported these paths as allowing unchecked userspace values to reach idr_alloc(). Add INT_MAX validation before using restored IDs in: - kfd_criu_restore_event() - criu_restore_memory_of_gpu() If the restored ID is invalid, return -EINVAL. This prevents invalid restore data from reaching the IDR layer and avoids WARN-triggering paths, while keeping valid restore behavior unchanged.
