Kernel memory exposure via command-size integer overflow
Published Oct 22, 2025 · Updated Oct 22, 2025
Integer overflow in the Linux kernel allows local users to expose kernel memory or crash the host through the AMDGPU command-submit ioctl. amdgpu_cs_pass1 stores an attacker-controlled chunk length in an unsigned int, so multiplying 0x40000000 by four wraps the allocation size to zero and leaves later parser data uninitialized. Access requires a local AMDGPU render or card device node; the resulting stale kernel data use supports disclosure, memory corruption, allocation pressure, and kernel crashes.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
