Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic was found in Linux Kernel up to 6.1.28/6.2.15/6.3.2. This vulnerability affects the function amdgpu_irq_put of the component amdgpu. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a information disclosure vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-200. The product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality. CVE summarizes:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: fix amdgpu_irq_put call trace in gmc_v11_0_hw_fini The gmc.ecc_irq is enabled by firmware per IFWI setting, and the host driver is not privileged to enable/disable the interrupt. So, it is meaningless to use the amdgpu_irq_put function in gmc_v11_0_hw_fini, which also leads to the call trace.
