What to do
AI-suggested
A fix for this vulnerability has been implemented in the Linux kernel source code (commit 2ae520cb12831d264ceb97c61f72c59d33c0dbd7). Users should update to a kernel version that includes this commit or later. No additional mitigation steps are indicated.
Description
CVE-2024-46896 is a medium severity vulnerability in the Linux kernel's AMDGPU DRM driver. It involves improper handling of job scheduling structures, which can lead to a crash (denial of service) when a command submission fails validation. The flaw is due to accessing an invalid scheduler pointer after a memset operation overwrites initialization data. This issue has been fixed by passing a NULL pointer to a cleanup function to avoid using a bogus ring value.
