UBUNTU-CVE-2025-40310: Null Pointer Dereference

Q: What systems are exposed to this issue?

The affected Ubuntu kernel package families listed are linux-riscv, linux-realtime, linux-azure, linux-gcp, linux-azure-fde, linux-hwe-edge, linux-gke, and linux-gkeop. The race is in the AMD KFD/AMDGPU code path, so exposure requires use of the relevant AMD GPU kernel functionality.

Q: What is the likely impact if the race occurs?

The provided crash log shows a kernel NULL pointer dereference during an AMDGPU/KFD interrupt, resulting in a kernel panic. This indicates a system availability impact.

Q: When does the race occur?

It can occur when amdgpu_amdkfd_device_fini_sw runs between kfd_cleanup_nodes and kfree(kfd), while a KGD interrupt is generated. The interrupt can then access KFD state that is being torn down.

Frequently Asked Questions

What systems are exposed to this issue?

The affected Ubuntu kernel package families listed are linux-riscv, linux-realtime, linux-azure, linux-gcp, linux-azure-fde, linux-hwe-edge, linux-gke, and linux-gkeop. The race is in the AMD KFD/AMDGPU code path, so exposure requires use of the relevant AMD GPU kernel functionality.

What is the likely impact if the race occurs?

The provided crash log shows a kernel NULL pointer dereference during an AMDGPU/KFD interrupt, resulting in a kernel panic. This indicates a system availability impact.

When does the race occur?

It can occur when amdgpu_amdkfd_device_fini_sw runs between kfd_cleanup_nodes and kfree(kfd), while a KGD interrupt is generated. The interrupt can then access KFD state that is being torn down.
