Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-46276)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-46276). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: fix zero-size GDS range init on RDNA4
RDNA4 (GFX 12) hardware removes the GDS, GWS, and OA on-chip memory
resources. The gfx_v12_0 initialisation code correctly leaves
adev->gds.gds_size, adev->gds.gws_size, and adev->gds.oa_size at
zero to reflect this.
amdgpu_ttm_init() unconditionally calls amdgpu_ttm_init_on_chip() for
each of these resources regardless of size. When the size is zero,
amdgpu_ttm_init_on_chip() forwards the call to ttm_range_man_init(),
which calls drm_mm_init(mm, 0, 0). drm_mm_init() immediately fires
DRM_MM_BUG_ON(start + size <= start) -- trivially true when size is
zero -- crashing the kernel during modprobe of amdgpu on an RX 9070 XT.
Guard against this by returning 0 early from
amdgpu_ttm_init_on_chip() when size_in_page is zero. This skips TTM
resource manager registration for hardware resources that are absent,
without affecting any other GPU type.
DRM_MM_BUG_ON() only asserts if CONFIG_DRM_DEBUG_MM is enabled in
the kernel config. This is apparently rarely enabled as these chips
have been in the market for over a year and this issue was only reported
now.
