UBUNTU-CVE-2026-89809: Null Pointer Dereference

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdkfd: fix scope of mqdmgr dereference in pqmdebugfsmqds Reading /sys/kernel/debug/kfd/mqds while a process holds an active KFD queue triggers a NULL pointer dereference because the for loop that calls mqdmgr->debugfsshowmqd() is incorrectly placed outside the if (pqn->q) block that initializes mqdmgr. The queue list can contain entries where pqn->q is NULL (kernel queues where only pqn->kq is valid). In the original code: if (pqn->q) { ... mqdmgr = q->device->dqm->mqdmgrs[mqdtype]; size = mqdmgr->mqdstride(...); } for (xcc = 0; xcc < numxccs; xcc++) { // WRONG: outside if block mqd = q->mqd + size xcc; r = mqdmgr->debugfsshowmqd(m, mqd); } When iterating over a queue node where pqn->q is NULL: 1. The if (pqn->q) block is skipped 2. mqdmgr remains uninitialized (NULL from declaration) 3. The for loop executes anyway 4. mqdmgr->debugfsshowmqd(m, mqd) dereferences NULL The crash manifests as: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 #PF: supervisor instruction fetch in kernel mode RIP: 0010:0x0 Call Trace: pqmdebugfsmqds+0x10c/0x1d0 [amdgpu] kfddebugfsmqdsbyprocess+0x9b/0x110 [amdgpu] seqreaditer+0x132/0x4b0 ... Fix by moving the for loop inside the if (pqn->q) block, so mqdmgr and related variables are only used when properly initialized. (cherry picked from commit 8bfe29d5c798940f797aa24135d2734c3ffce9de)
