Doc Text:
A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel's AMD GPU driver in the buffer object size validation logic. A local user on systems with AMD graphics hardware can trigger this issue by requesting memory allocation in non-exclusive domains when the Translation Table Manager domain manager has not been initialized. This causes the kernel to dereference a NULL pointer when validating buffer sizes, resulting in a kernel crash and denial of service.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-10-07 16:05:25 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/amdgpu: Fix size validation for non-exclusive domains (v4)

Fix amdgpu_bo_validate_size() to check whether the TTM domain manager for the
requested memory exists, else we get a kernel oops when dereferencing "man".

v2: Make the patch standalone, i.e. not dependent on local patches.
v3: Preserve old behaviour and just check that the manager pointer is not
    NULL.
v4: Complain if GTT domain requested and it is uninitialized--most likely a
    bug.
