Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in AMD EPYC 7002 Processors, Ryzen 5000 Mobile Processors with Radeon Graphics, Ryzen 7000 Desktop Processors, Ryzen 5000 Desktop Processors, Ryzen 3000 Desktop Processors, Ryzen Z1 Processors, Ryzen 7040 Mobile Processors with Radeon Graphics, Ryzen 8040 Mobile Processors with Radeon Graphics, Ryzen 8000 Desktop Processors, Ryzen 4000 Mobile Processors with Radeon Graphics, Ryzen 6000 Processors with Radeon Graphics, Ryzen 7020 Processors with Radeon Graphics, Ryzen 7045 Mobile Processors with Radeon Graphics, Ryzen 5000 Desktop Processors with Radeon Graphics, Ryzen 4000 Desktop Processors, Ryzen Z2 Processors, EPYC Embedded 7002 Processors, Ryzen Embedded 5000 Processors, Ryzen Embedded V2000 Processors, Ryzen Embedded V3000 Processors, Ryzen Embedded 8000 Processors and Ryzen Embedded 7000 Processors. It has been rated as problematic. This issue affects some unknown functionality of the component PCIe Link. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. Impacted is availability. The summary by CVE is:

Improper restriction of operations within the bounds of a memory buffer in PCIe® Link could allow an attacker with access to a guest virtual machine to potentially perform a denial of service attack against the host resulting in loss of availability.

It is possible to read the advisory at amd.com. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2024-21961 since 01/03/2024. The exploitation is known to be difficult. The attack may be initiated remotely. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not publicly available. The pricing for an exploit might be around USD $0-$5k at the moment (estimation calculated on 02/26/2026).

There is no information about possible countermeasures known. It may be suggested to replace the affected object with an alternative product.
