Vulnerability details

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in the amdgpu_vce_cs_reloc function when processing crafted command submission relocation data. A local user can provide invalid lo/hi indices to cause a denial of service.

The issue occurs when only one of the low or high address fields is valid, which can result in a bad address being written in firmware.
