System crash via DMUB outbox array overrun
Published Feb 26, 2025 · Updated May 11, 2026
An off-by-one error in Linux kernel 5.16 allows local users to crash the system through the AMDGPU display driver. dm_dmub_outbox1_low_irq() accepts a type equal to ARRAY_SIZE(dmub_hpd_irq_map), then indexes one element past that map. Exploitation requires local low-privilege access and an AMD GPU configuration that reaches the DMUB outbox interrupt path; the reported consequence is availability loss only.
