Detailed vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to improper locking in drm/amdgpu user queue handling in drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/mes_userqueue.c when creating a user queue and accessing the wptr mapping. A local user can trigger queue creation while unmapping the wptr object and reusing another buffer object at the same address to cause a denial of service.
The issue involves stale wptr mapping access during queue creation.
