Service interruption via unchecked display return values
Published Sep 18, 2024 · Updated May 11, 2026
Unchecked-return handling in Linux 4.15 through 6.10.9 allows local users to interrupt service through AMD display-driver operations. dc_dmub_srv_cmd_run_list continues after an idle-wait failure, while visual-confirmation, watermark, and link-training paths use results without confirming that their producers succeeded. Reachability requires local access and the affected AMD display stack; public records identify no specific trigger or whether interruption manifests as a hang or crash.

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.
