Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: prevent NULL pointer dereference if ATIF is not supported
acpi_evaluate_object() may return AE_NOT_FOUND (failure), which
would result in dereferencing buffer.pointer (obj) while being NULL.
Although this case may be unrealistic for the current code, it is
still better to protect against possible bugs.
Bail out also when status is AE_NOT_FOUND.
This fixes 1 FORWARD_NULL issue reported by Coverity
Report: CID 1600951: Null pointer dereferences (FORWARD_NULL)
(cherry picked from commit 91c9e221fe2553edf2db71627d8453f083de87a1)
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's AMD GPU driver. A failure to properly handle error returns during ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) object evaluation can result in a NULL pointer dereference when specific interface features are unsupported. A local user could exploit this flaw to crash the system, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
Меры по смягчению последствий
Blacklist or disable autoloading of the amdgpu kernel module on systems where AMD graphics hardware is not required.
- Prevent the module from loading by adding a configuration file in /etc/modprobe.d/:
echo 'install amdgpu /bin/true' > /etc/modprobe.d/disable-amdgpu.conf
- If the module is currently loaded, attempt to remove it:
modprobe -r amdgpu
Caveats: If the driver is actively bound to hardware or used by a display manager, dynamic unloading will not succeed and a system restart is required. Disabling the driver prevents hardware-accelerated rendering and multi-display outputs on systems relying on AMD Radeon adapters.
