Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel up to 6.3.2. It has been rated as critical. Affected by this issue is the function cp_ecc_error_irq of the component gfx. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a denial of service vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-404. The product does not release or incorrectly releases a resource before it is made available for re-use. Impacted is availability. CVE summarizes:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu/gfx: disable gfx9 cp_ecc_error_irq only when enabling legacy gfx ras gfx9 cp_ecc_error_irq is only enabled when legacy gfx ras is assert. So in gfx_v9_0_hw_fini, interrupt disablement for cp_ecc_error_irq should be executed under such condition, otherwise, an amdgpu_irq_put calltrace will occur.
