Since\namdgpu_bo_create_kernel() does not zero-initialize the buffer, when a\nsingle PTE is written the TLB may speculatively load other uninitialized\nentries from the same cacheline. Those garbage entries can appear valid,\nand a subsequent write to another PTE in the same cacheline may cause the\nGPU to use a stale garbage PTE from the TLB.\n\nFix this by calling memset_io() to zero-initialize the GART table with\ngart_pte_flags immediately after allocation.\n\nUsing AMDGPU_GEM_CREATE_VRAM_CLEARED, SDMA-based clear will not work\nsince SDMA needs GART to be initialized to work.\n\n(cherry picked from commit d9af8263b82b6eaa60c5718e0c6631c5037e4b24)"}],"metrics":[{"cvssV3_1":{"version":"3.1","vectorString":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","baseScore":8.8,"baseSeverity":"HIGH"},"scenarios":[{"lang":"en","value":"AV:L - The bug is reached when a local process with access to /dev/dri/renderD* issues AMDGPU DRM ioctls (GEM_CREATE, CS) that bind GTT buffers through amdgpu_ttm_backend_bind() → amdgpu_gart_bind(), writing GART PTEs without a TLB flush. This is a local GPU driver ioctl path, not a network protocol.\nAC:L - An attacker with render-node access can reliably trigger GART PTE writes by allocating and binding GTT-domain buffers via standard ioctls; they control mapping timing and concurrency. Uninitialized VRAM contents at driver init are not an attacker-uncontrollable gate for triggering the stale-TLB condition.\nPR:L - All AMDGPU GEM/CS ioctls require DRM_AUTH|DRM_RENDER_ALLOW, which is satisfied by membership in the render/video group on typical desktop, workstation, and cloud-GPU instances—not real root in the init namespace.\nUI:N - Exploitation requires only programmatic ioctl and GPU command submission; no victim interaction such as opening files or mounting filesystems is needed beyond the attacker already having render-node access.\nS:C - Stale garbage GART PTEs in the GPU TLB can cause the GPU to DMA to/from arbitrary physical pages outside the driver's intended mappings, bypassing the GART/IOMMU address-translation boundary that is supposed to confine GPU memory access.\nC:H - Speculatively loaded garbage PTEs that appear valid can redirect GPU reads to unintended physical memory, including kernel and other processes' pages, constituting arbitrary memory disclosure via rogue DMA.\nI:H - Those same stale valid PTEs can redirect GPU writes to arbitrary physical addresses, enabling arbitrary memory corruption and potential code execution through DMA write primitives.\nA:H - GPU DMA through invalid or garbage PTEs to unintended physical addresses can cause IOMMU faults, machine checks, GPU hangs, or kernel oops/panic, producing full system availability loss."}]}],"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/amdgpu/amdgpu_gart.c"],"versions":[{"version":"d38ceaf99ed015f2a0b9af3499791bd3a3daae21","lessThan":"40df11255d71b02e20e70579f1b12b687e396e26","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"d38ceaf99ed015f2a0b9af3499791bd3a3daae21","lessThan":"91fbb5e635c8fb1b49e15c19da06480089ef719f","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"d38ceaf99ed015f2a0b9af3499791bd3a3daae21","lessThan":"8ae8b9e74bab94aab1d79f1688129bcc61c8b29a","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"d38ceaf99ed015f2a0b9af3499791bd3a3daae21","lessThan":"b17175d0a375b3ed5e81597dac4983fdb46e478d","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"d38ceaf99ed015f2a0b9af3499791bd3a3daae21","lessThan":"791941be5da125d9a1b228582bfdc300c05d05b3","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"d38ceaf99ed015f2a0b9af3499791bd3a3daae21","lessThan":"e6c2e6c2e1fa066968a16aca1cb66cd1bdde7741","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/amdgpu/amdgpu_gart.c"],"versions":[{"version":"4.2","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"4.2","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.1.175","lessThanOrEqual":"6.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.140","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.90","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.32","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.0.9","lessThanOrEqual":"7.0.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.1","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":"4.2","versionEndExcluding":"6.1.175"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.2","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.140"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.2","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.90"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.2","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.32"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.2","versionEndExcluding":"7.0.9"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.2","versionEndExcluding":"7.1"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/40df11255d71b02e20e70579f1b12b687e396e26"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/91fbb5e635c8fb1b49e15c19da06480089ef719f"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8ae8b9e74bab94aab1d79f1688129bcc61c8b29a"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b17175d0a375b3ed5e81597dac4983fdb46e478d"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/791941be5da125d9a1b228582bfdc300c05d05b3"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e6c2e6c2e1fa066968a16aca1cb66cd1bdde7741"}],"title":"drm/amdgpu: zero-initialize GART table on allocation","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
