AI-suggested
An official patch is available and should be applied to affected Linux kernel versions. Users should update to the fixed kernel versions as indicated by their distribution's security advisories. No additional mitigation steps are specified or required beyond applying the update.
Description
A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in the Linux kernel's drm/amdkfd component was fixed. The issue occurs when the process_info pointer is NULL if the user does not call kfd_ioctl_acquire_vm before kfd_ioctl_svm, potentially causing a kernel crash or instability. This vulnerability affects multiple Linux kernel versions and has been addressed in official updates.
