CVE-2026-68259: drm/amdkfd: Check bounds in allocate_event_notification_slot

Published Aug 10, 2026
·
Updated

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/amdkfd: Check bounds in allocateeventnotificationslot

The valid event ids go from 0 to KFDSIGNALEVENTLIMIT

allocateeventnotificationslot has an option to specify an event id to allocate at, used by CRIU. We weren't checking the bounds on that value.

Check them.

v2: Lower bounds check is unecessary because of idralloc already rejecting negative numbers. Upper bounds check should be KFDSIGNALEVENTLIMIT since the signal mode mappings might not yet exist

(cherry picked from commit 6853f1f6cbbeb3f53ebbbd7286536aeb2c5d5f50)
