Local KSLR bypass via improper return value
Published Nov 24, 2025 · Updated Nov 24, 2025
Improper return-value handling in AMD uProf before 5.0 allows local users to bypass KSLR and disclose kernel address information. AMD identifies the faulty behavior only as an improper return value and has not disclosed the affected function, driver path, or triggering input. Low-privilege local access is required; the reported consequences are kernel-layout disclosure and service interruption, with no integrity impact.
