Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-31766)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-31766). Data can be tampered with by attackers.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: validate doorbell_offset in user queue creation
amdgpu_userq_get_doorbell_index() passes the user-provided
doorbell_offset to amdgpu_doorbell_index_on_bar() without bounds
checking. An arbitrarily large doorbell_offset can cause the
calculated doorbell index to fall outside the allocated doorbell BO,
potentially corrupting kernel doorbell space.
Validate that doorbell_offset falls within the doorbell BO before
computing the BAR index, using u64 arithmetic to prevent overflow.
(cherry picked from commit de1ef4ffd70e1d15f0bf584fd22b1f28cbd5e2ec)
