Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel up to 7.1.4. It has been rated as very critical. Affected by this issue is the function amdgpu_coredump of the component amdgpu. The manipulation of the argument rings with an unknown input leads to a out-of-bounds vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-125. The product reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: fix KASAN slab-out-of-bounds in amdgpu_coredump ring dump The ring content dump in amdgpu_coredump() uses two separate loops over adev->rings[]: the first counts rings with unsignalled fences to size the allocation, and the second copies ring data into the allocated buffers. Both loops use the same condition to skip rings: atomic_read(&ring->fence_drv.last_seq) == ring->fence_drv.sync_seq Because last_seq is an atomic that is updated concurrently by the fence signalling path, additional rings may appear unsignalled in the second loop that were signalled during the first. When this happens, idx exceeds the allocated ring_count and the store to coredump->rings[idx] writes past the end of the kcalloc-ed buffer. This was found during IGT stressful test amd_queue_reset which triggers random GPU resets. The OVERSIZE subtest (CMD_STREAM_EXEC_INVALID_PACKET_LENGTH_OVERSIZE on GFX ring) provokes a ring timeout and subsequent coredump, which hits the race between the counting and copying loops. The failure is non-deterministic and depends on fence signalling timing during the reset.

Fix by adding an idx < ring_count guard to the copy loop so it cannot exceed the allocated count even when the fence state changes between the two passes.

The advisory is shared for download at git.kernel.org. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2026-74357 since 08/15/2026. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack needs to be approached locally. There are known technical details, but no exploit is available. The current price for an exploit might be approx. USD $0-$5k (estimation calculated on 08/15/2026).
