CVE-2026-93823 in Linux
Summary
by MITRE • 09/24/2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdkfd: Let driver decide buffer size at AMDKFD_IOC_GET_DMABUF_INFO ioctl
amdkfd driver needs allocate buffer to return bo metadata to user space. The buffer size is controlled by user currently. It is a potential security issue that hostile value (e.g. 2 GiB) lets any render-group user trigger order-MAX allocation/OOM in kernel context.
This patch first finds bo metadata size. If the size is smaller than user provided value drive can safely allocate buffer in kernel space and copy to user space buffer. If not, driver will let user know, not allocate and copy. User will redo with new buffer in user space.
This patch lets driver decide buffer allocation size to avoid potential hostile size from user space.
(cherry picked from commit f54ce9e8cbd3abe0eda3a285f54dc4f572fe589a)
