Doc Text:	A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's AMD GPU (amdgpu) driver. A local attacker with high privileges could trigger an incorrect interrupt handling mechanism within the `gmc_v11_0_hw_fini` function. This issue arises because the host driver attempts to disable an interrupt that is managed by the firmware, leading to a system crash, also known as a call trace, and resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-09-15 15:05:34 UTC

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

drm/amdgpu: fix amdgpu_irq_put call trace in gmc_v11_0_hw_fini

The gmc.ecc_irq is enabled by firmware per IFWI setting,
and the host driver is not privileged to enable/disable
the interrupt. So, it is meaningless to use the amdgpu_irq_put
function in gmc_v11_0_hw_fini, which also leads to the call
trace.
