UBUNTU-CVE-2025-68180: Null Pointer Dereference

Q: Which systems are exposed to this crash condition?

Systems using the affected Ubuntu Linux kernel packages with the AMDGPU display driver are exposed when a display connector remains connected but inactive. The issue is triggered through the driver's debugfs odm_combine_segments entry.

Q: What is required to trigger the vulnerability?

A connector must be connected but inactive, such as when a desktop environment has disabled it, causing pipe_ctx->stream_res.tg to be destroyed. Reading the odm_combine_segments debugfs entry in that state can dereference the resulting NULL pointer and crash the kernel.

Updated

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: Fix NULL deref in debugfs odmcombinesegments When a connector is connected but inactive (e.g., disabled by desktop environments), pipectx->streamres.tg will be destroyed. Then, reading odmcombinesegments causes kernel NULL pointer dereference.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which systems are exposed to this crash condition?

Systems using the affected Ubuntu Linux kernel packages with the AMDGPU display driver are exposed when a display connector remains connected but inactive. The issue is triggered through the driver's debugfs odm_combine_segments entry.

What is required to trigger the vulnerability?

A connector must be connected but inactive, such as when a desktop environment has disabled it, causing pipe_ctx->stream_res.tg to be destroyed. Reading the odm_combine_segments debugfs entry in that state can dereference the resulting NULL pointer and crash the kernel.

How can administrators identify a possible occurrence?

Look for a kernel NULL pointer dereference or Oops attributed to odm_combine_segments_show in the amdgpu module. The fault occurs when the debugfs odm_combine_segments entry is read, including by a process such as cat.
