CVE-2025-0028

Arbitrary address access via unchecked return value

Published May 15, 2026 · Updated May 15, 2026

Unchecked return handling in AMD PMF drivers for affected Ryzen processors allows local users to read or modify arbitrary addresses. The driver fails to check a return value before an address-dependent operation, but AMD has not identified the function or returned status. Low local privileges and no user interaction are required; successful access can expose data or corrupt memory and interrupt the system.
