What to do
AI-suggested
A fix for this vulnerability has been implemented in the Linux kernel by adding the missing size check in the affected function. Users and administrators should update their Linux kernel to a version that includes this patch to mitigate the risk. Since this is not a cloud service, manual patching is required. No additional mitigation steps are indicated by the vendor advisory.
Description
CVE-2024-50282 is a high-severity vulnerability in the Linux kernel's AMDGPU driver. It involves a missing size check in the amdgpu_debugfs_gprwave_read() function, which could lead to a buffer overflow if the size parameter exceeds 4 KB. This flaw has been fixed by adding the necessary size validation to prevent overflow.
