AI-suggested

Patches are available and have been released for affected Linux kernel versions. Users should update their linux-azure kernel packages to the fixed versions listed in the advisory (e.g., 4.15.0-1178.193~14.04.1 and later). After applying updates, a system reboot is required to ensure the vulnerability is fully mitigated. No additional mitigations are specified or required beyond applying the official fixes.

Description

CVE-2024-26922 is a high-severity vulnerability in the Linux kernel's AMDGPU driver where parameters for buffer object (bo) mapping operations were not properly validated. This flaw could allow a local attacker with limited privileges to cause significant impact including confidentiality, integrity, and availability breaches. The issue has been addressed by consolidating parameter validation in a common code path. Multiple affected versions of the Linux kernel, particularly in the linux-azure product line, have been fixed in subsequent releases.
