Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's `drm/amdgpu` graphics driver. When processing graphics commands, the driver fails to properly handle multiple "FENCE chunks" in a single submission. This oversight leads to a memory leak, where system resources are not released as expected. A local attacker could exploit this to exhaust available memory, potentially causing a Denial of Service (DoS) on the system.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-08-26 14:56:26 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/amdgpu: disallow multiple FENCE chunks in one submit

amdgpu_cs_pass1() dispatches on chunk_id once per chunk without
rejecting repeated ids. p->uf_bo is a single-slot field, so a
submission carrying two AMDGPU_CHUNK_ID_FENCE chunks runs
amdgpu_cs_p1_user_fence() twice, and the second run overwrites
p->uf_bo with a freshly referenced BO without dropping the reference
taken by the first.

amdgpu_cs_parser_fini() only unrefs the final p->uf_bo, so every FENCE
chunk but the last leaks a BO reference. The leaked BO outlives handle
close and process exit.

Reject duplicate FENCE chunks the same way commit fec5f8e8c6bc
("drm/amdgpu: disallow multiple BO_HANDLES chunks in one submit") did
for p->bo_list.

(cherry picked from commit 665b1fc2a1845206408f9a2c6da67101789edb82)
