Cross-process disclosure via uncleared GPU memory
Published Mar 2, 2025 · Updated Oct 14, 2025
Information disclosure in AMD Linux GPU drivers allows local users to read another process's residual GPU global memory. The drivers fail to clear GPU global memory completely before reallocating it between processes, leaving prior contents readable. A low-privileged malicious process must run on the same GPU as a victim process; the consequence is read-only disclosure, and ROCm products are not believed impacted.
