Description
A high-severity vulnerability in the Linux kernel's AMDGPU driver (amdgpu_hmm_range_get_pages) was fixed to prevent improper handling of notifier sequences that could lead to working with invalid pages. This flaw could allow local attackers with limited privileges to escalate their privileges by exploiting the improper page handling. The issue affects multiple versions of the linux-hwe-edge kernel prior to the fixed releases. The vulnerability has been patched in several kernel versions starting from 7.0.0-28.28~24.04.1 and related builds.
