A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's AMD GPU JPEG driver. This vulnerability arises from the driver's inability to properly handle 64-bit user fence writes to its JPEG rings. A local user could exploit this by submitting specially crafted commands, potentially leading to system instability or a denial of service.
