Arbitrary writes via untrusted pointer dereference
Published Sep 6, 2025 · Updated Sep 8, 2025
Improper pointer validation in the AMD Graphics Driver allows local users to write arbitrary memory or interrupt service. The driver accepts a specially crafted user-supplied pointer and dereferences it without establishing that the target address is trusted. Local low-privilege access is required; successful use can alter protected memory or crash the affected graphics stack, while AMD has not disclosed the responsible function.
