What to do

AI-suggested

A fix for this vulnerability has been implemented in the Linux kernel drm/amdkfd driver. Users should apply the official kernel updates that include this fix to prevent exploitation. Since this is a kernel-level issue, patching the affected kernel version is the recommended mitigation.

Description

CVE-2025-37854 is a use-after-free race condition vulnerability in the Linux kernel's drm/amdkfd driver. It occurs when the hardware scheduler hangs and a mode1 reset is used to recover the GPU. During this process, user queues may access freed system memory before the hardware reset completes, leading to data corruption and a potential driver crash. The issue has been fixed by changing the cleanup sequence to terminate user queues, wait for GPU reset completion, and then free memory buffers.
