Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Improper locking (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-53293)

CWE-ID: CWE-667 - Improper Locking

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 improper locking in AMDGPU_INFO_READ_MMR_REG in amdgpu_kms.c when handling ioctl requests to read MMR registers. A local user can issue a crafted ioctl request to cause a denial of service.

The issue involves incorrect ordering between the reset semaphore and mm_lock, allocation while holding the reset semaphore, and failure to wait for reset completion.
