Title
drm/amdkfd: Check debug trap enable before write dbg_ev_file
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdkfd: Check debug trap enable before write dbg_ev_file
In interrupt context, write dbg_ev_file will be run by work queue. It
will cause write dbg_ev_file execution after debug_trap_disable, which
will cause NULL pointer access.
v2: cancel work "debug_event_workarea" before set dbg_ev_file as NULL.
Severity
7.8 (High)

"value": "AV:L - The vulnerability is reached through the AMDKFD_IOC_DBG_TRAP ioctl on the /dev/kfd character device (and the process-teardown path), requiring local access to the machine. No network or remote protocol handling is involved.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the race: they flood debug exceptions by submitting shaders that raise SQ traps/bad opcodes/memory violations (queuing the work item from GPU IRQ) while concurrently issuing KFD_IOC_DBG_TRAP_DISABLE in a loop, and can retry indefinitely until the window is hit.\nPR:L - Only an unprivileged local account with access to /dev/kfd is needed \u2014 kfd_open() performs no capability check and the ptrace_parent() gate in kfd_ioctl_set_debug_trap() is bypassed entirely when a process debugs itself (target == p). ROCm systems ship /dev/kfd world- or render-group-accessible, so any local user on an AMD GPU compute node qualifies.\nUI:N - The attacking process performs every step itself \u2014 enabling debug trap, submitting the faulting GPU work, and disabling the trap. No victim action or interaction is required.\nS:U - The corruption and its consequences are confined to the kernel of the same host; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - After fput() drops the last reference, the worker uses a dangling struct file from the filp slab cache, and an attacker who reclaims that object controls the f_op table used by kernel_write \u2014 a use-after-free that can be leveraged into arbitrary kernel memory disclosure.\nI:H - __kernel_write_iter() indirectly calls file-\u003ef_op-\u003ewrite_iter() on the freed struct file, giving a direct control-flow-hijack primitive once the attacker sprays the reclaimed filp object, which translates into arbitrary kernel write and privilege escalation.\nA:H - The commonly observed outcome is a NULL pointer dereference in kernel_write() from a kworker context, oopsing the kernel; the use-after-free variant likewise crashes the machine, and the attacker can trigger it repeatedly."

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
