In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu/vcn: set no_user_fence for VCN v3.0 enc/dec rings VCN encoder and decoder rings do not support 64-bit user fence writes, reject CS submissions with user fences. (cherry picked from commit 663bed3c7b8b9a7624b0d95d300ddae034ad0614)
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Linux kernel AMDGPU driver for VCN v3.0 encoder and decoder rings did not support 64-bit user fence writes, potentially allowing unsupported command submissions with user fences. The vulnerability was resolved by setting the no_user_fence flag for these rings, thereby rejecting submissions that include user fences. The fix was applied via a kernel commit (663bed3c7b8b9a7624b0d95d300ddae034ad0614). No further technical details or exploitation methods are provided.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability could have allowed unsupported command submissions involving 64-bit user fence writes to the VCN v3.0 encoder and decoder rings in the AMDGPU driver. The exact impact is not detailed, and no known exploits are reported. The fix prevents such submissions, mitigating potential risks associated with unsupported fence operations.
Mitigation Recommendations
This vulnerability has been resolved by an official kernel patch that sets the no_user_fence flag for the affected VCN v3.0 rings. Users should update their Linux kernel to a version that includes this fix. Patch status is not explicitly confirmed in the provided data; therefore, users should consult the vendor or Linux kernel advisory for the exact fixed versions and apply the update accordingly.
