Local GPU denial of service via unresumed queues
Published Aug 15, 2026 · Updated Aug 15, 2026
Denial of service in the Linux kernel allows local users to interrupt AMD GPU work through a failed queue suspension. The amdkfd queue-removal path failed to run resume_all after suspend_all returned an error, leaving otherwise healthy queues suspended, and it skipped remove_queue, so a failed removal did not schedule a GPU reset. Exploitation requires local low-privileged access and an AMD GPU using KFD; the resulting impact is interruption of GPU functionality rather than data disclosure or modification.

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.
