Linux Kernel up to 6.18.50/7.2.4 drm/amdgpu out-of-bounds

CVSS Meta Temp Score CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.	Current Exploit Price (≈) Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.	CTI Interest Score Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability has been found in Linux Kernel up to 6.18.50/7.2.4 and classified as very critical. This vulnerability affects an unknown code block of the component drm/amdgpu. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a out-of-bounds vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-125. The product reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: clamp the isolation index for rings outside a partition adev->isolation[] has one slot per partition, but a ring that is not assigned to one keeps AMDGPU_XCP_NO_PARTITION, which is ~0, so indexing the array with it is out of bounds. SDMA submissions hit this on both the isolation enforcement and the VM flush path and trip UBSAN. Fall back to the first slot the way the cleaner shader path already does, and stop taking the address before the ring type check that makes it relevant.

The advisory is available at git.kernel.org. This vulnerability was named CVE-2026-89814 since 09/11/2026. The exploitation appears to be easy. Local access is required to approach this attack. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not available. The structure of the vulnerability defines a possible price range of USD $0-$5k at the moment (estimation calculated on 09/16/2026).

Upgrading to version 6.18.51, 7.2.5 or 7.3-rc1 eliminates this vulnerability.
