Local system interruption via AMD display validation faults
Published Apr 3, 2024 · Updated May 11, 2026
Availability flaws in the Linux AMD display driver allow local users to hang or crash affected systems through display processing. In bios_parser2.c, several parsers log fields through pointers returned by GET_IMAGE before checking for NULL, while link_validation.c uses narrower loop variables that can wrap instead of terminating. Exploitation requires local access and an affected AMD display path; the documented consequence is availability loss, not data disclosure or modification.

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.
