No network or remote protocol handling is involved.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the race: they flood debug exceptions by submitting shaders that raise SQ traps/bad opcodes/memory violations (queuing the work item from GPU IRQ) while concurrently issuing KFD_IOC_DBG_TRAP_DISABLE in a loop, and can retry indefinitely until the window is hit.\nPR:L - Only an unprivileged local account with access to /dev/kfd is needed — kfd_open() performs no capability check and the ptrace_parent() gate in kfd_ioctl_set_debug_trap() is bypassed entirely when a process debugs itself (target == p). ROCm systems ship /dev/kfd world- or render-group-accessible, so any local user on an AMD GPU compute node qualifies.\nUI:N - The attacking process performs every step itself — enabling debug trap, submitting the faulting GPU work, and disabling the trap. No victim action or interaction is required.\nS:U - The corruption and its consequences are confined to the kernel of the same host; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - After fput() drops the last reference, the worker uses a dangling struct file from the filp slab cache, and an attacker who reclaims that object controls the f_op table used by kernel_write — a use-after-free that can be leveraged into arbitrary kernel memory disclosure.\nI:H - __kernel_write_iter() indirectly calls file->f_op->write_iter() on the freed struct file, giving a direct control-flow-hijack primitive once the attacker sprays the reclaimed filp object, which translates into arbitrary kernel write and privilege escalation.\nA:H - The commonly observed outcome is a NULL pointer dereference in kernel_write() from a kworker context, oopsing the kernel; the use-after-free variant likewise crashes the machine, and the attacker can trigger it repeatedly."}]}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdkfd/kfd_debug.c"],"versions":[{"version":"0ab2d7532b05a3e7c06fd3b0c8bd6b46c1dfb508","lessThan":"e6ea3b8fe398915338147fe54dd2db8155fdafd8","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"0ab2d7532b05a3e7c06fd3b0c8bd6b46c1dfb508","lessThan":"820dcbd38a77bd5fdc4236d521c1c122841227d0","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"0ab2d7532b05a3e7c06fd3b0c8bd6b46c1dfb508","lessThan":"547033b593063eb85bfdf9b25a5f1b8fd1911be2","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdkfd/kfd_debug.c"],"versions":[{"version":"6.5","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"6.5","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.50","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.10.9","lessThanOrEqual":"6.10.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.11","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.5","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.50"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.5","versionEndExcluding":"6.10.9"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.5","versionEndExcluding":"6.11"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e6ea3b8fe398915338147fe54dd2db8155fdafd8"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/820dcbd38a77bd5fdc4236d521c1c122841227d0"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/547033b593063eb85bfdf9b25a5f1b8fd1911be2"}],"title":"drm/amdkfd: Check debug trap enable before write dbg_ev_file","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}},"adp":[{"metrics":[{"other":{"type":"ssvc","content":{"timestamp":"2024-09-29T14:20:52.974033Z","id":"CVE-2024-46803","options":[{"Exploitation":"none"},{"Automatable":"no"},{"Technical Impact":"partial"}],"role":"CISA Coordinator","version":"2.0.3"}}}],"title":"CISA ADP Vulnrichment","providerMetadata":{"orgId":"134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0","shortName":"CISA-ADP","dateUpdated":"2024-09-29T14:21:05.556Z"}}]}}
