Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-53144)

CWE-ID: CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference in get_queue_ids() and its callers in the amdkfd debug trap queue handling path when processing a debug trap ioctl request with num_queues greater than zero and a missing queue array pointer. A local user can supply crafted ioctl parameters to trigger a kernel panic and cause a denial of service.

The issue is triggered via kfd_ioctl_set_debug_trap().
