Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-09-03 15:32 – Updated: 2026-09-04 06:31

Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/amdkfd: Add bounds check for CRAT subtype length

The CRAT parser validates that the subtype header fits within the image, but does not verify that the advertised subtype length fits. A malformed CRAT table with an oversized length field causes out-of-bounds reads when kfd_parse_subtype() casts the header to specific subtype structures.

Add validation that sub_type_hdr + length does not exceed the image boundary before parsing the subtype contents.

(cherry picked from commit 48e1d1e6e8798aef0312e68d8e586021b5b3cf4d)

Severity

8.0 (High)

On affected kernels, ACPI CRAT is copied from firmware via acpi_get_table(\"CRAT\"); there is no network, ioctl, or /dev/kfd path to this parser.\nAC:L - A malicious ACPI CRAT can set subtype length so only the 8-byte generic header fits in the remaining image while kfd_parse_subtype() casts to larger structs (cache, CU, iolink). The out-of-bounds read is deterministic at boot with no races or attacker-uncontrollable memory layout.\nPR:N - Exploitation requires only a crafted ACPI CRAT in platform firmware/UEFI parsed automatically at boot via kfd_create_crat_image_acpi(). No Linux user account, capability, or /dev/kfd access is needed; only control of firmware-supplied CRAT contents before KFD topology initialization.\nUI:N - CRAT parsing occurs automatically during kernel boot and amdgpu/KFD module initialization when topology is built. No user mount, file open, or other discretionary action is required beyond powering on hardware that contains the malicious ACPI table.\nS:U - Impact is confined to kernel heap out-of-bounds reads and corrupted topology metadata within the host kernel security domain. This is not a guest/host VM escape, container sandbox breakout, or IOMMU/DMA boundary bypass.\nC:H - kfd_parse_subtype() casts the generic header to large subtype structures and reads past the CRAT buffer boundary (e.g., cache sibling_map[32], iolink, computeunit fields). Leaked adjacent kernel heap bytes populate topology objects exposed via world-readable /sys/class/kfd/kfd/topology/ attributes (0444).\nI:L - Out-of-bounds read values (sizes, proximity domains, sibling maps, bandwidth fields) are stored into kmalloc\u0027d kernel topology structures (mem_props, cache_props, io_link_props), modifying kernel metadata with attacker-influenced data derived from reads past the allocation.\nA:H - Out-of-bounds reads during early init can dereference unmapped pages and trigger a kernel oops or panic during amdgpu/KFD bring-up. Related malformed-CRAT parser bugs at the same code path also cause infinite-loop denial of service, confirming high availability impact from CRAT parsing flaws."
