Severity

unknown

CVSS measures technical severity, not the likelihood of an attack.

Known exploitation

Not listed in the checked CISA KEV catalog

Absence from CISA KEV does not rule out attacks.

Public exploit

Not established by this record

Missing evidence does not mean no public exploit exists.

Remediation

Source guidance available

Review the recorded instructions. Guidance may be a workaround rather than a fixed version.

What this means

The Linux kernel has an integer underflow vulnerability in the drm/amdkfd module. It occurs when calculating the EOP ring size using ffs, which can return 1 or 0, causing an underflow. The affected versions are Linux kernel versions prior to specific commits.

Summarized by @cf/meta/llama-3.3-70b-instruct-fp8-fast. Verify details against the original sources.

Automatic dependency matching is unavailable for this record. Use the product evidence and publisher’s instructions to check your installation.

What to do

Compare your installed product and version with the affected versions above. A matching product name alone does not confirm exposure.

Change this to

ffs(q->eop_ring_buffer_size / sizeof(unsigned int) / 4)

using properties of logarithms.

Public exploit evidence

Original source description

Read the full publisher description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/amdkfd: Avoid integer underflow with ffs in EOP ring size calc

The low 6 bits of cp_hqd_eop_control store the base-2 logarithm of the EOP ring size. This was calculated as

ffs(q->eop_ring_buffer_size / sizeof(unsigned int)) - 1 - 1

But ffs can in theory return 1 or 0, so this could underflow (although in practice the ring buffer size cannot be less than 4096).

Change this to

ffs(q->eop_ring_buffer_size / sizeof(unsigned int) / 4)

using properties of logarithms.

(cherry picked from commit 4f18c56630383c14bfc6b2d65f88f2f895d2121a)
