CVE-2023-31324
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedA Time-of-check time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition in the AMD Secure Processor (ASP) could allow an attacker to modify External Global Memory Interconnect Trusted Agent (XGMI TA) commands as they are processed potentially resulting in loss of confidentiality, integrity, or availability.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceA TOCTOU race condition in the AMD Secure Processor allows attackers to modify XGMI Trusted Agent commands as they are being processed, potentially compromising confidentiality, integrity, or availability of the affected system.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Check ROCm versionRun 'rocminfo' or check /opt/rocm/bin/ for rocminfo; also check package manager for installed ROCm packages with 'dpkg -l | grep rocm' or 'rpm -qa | grep rocm'Affected if ROCm version is installed and less than 6.2.0
-
Check AMD Radeon Software versionCheck installed AMD driver package version via 'dxdiag' on Windows, or look for /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ for AMD driver files; check System Preferences > About This Mac on macOS for AMD GPU driversAffected if AMD Radeon Software version is present and less than 24.6.1 or less than 25.q2 (for quarterly releases)
-
Identify Radeon Pro VII GPU and firmwareRun 'lspci | grep -i vga' or 'lspci | grep -i radeon' to find Radeon Pro VII; then check firmware version via 'cat /sys/class/drm/card0/device/firmware_node' or use 'amdvlk' / 'rocm-smi' if availableAffected if Radeon Pro VII GPU is present (firmware is vulnerable on all versions)
-
Identify Radeon VII GPU and firmwareRun 'lspci | grep -i radeon' to detect Radeon VII; check firmware via 'dmesg | grep -i radeon' at boot or use GPU info toolsAffected if Radeon VII GPU is present (firmware is vulnerable on all versions)
You are affected if any ROCm version below 6.2.0, Radeon Software below 24.6.1/25.q2, or any Radeon Pro VII/Radeon VII GPU with firmware is present in your environment.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped6.2.024.6.125.q2
Apply AMD firmware updates for the Secure Processor when available; until then, restrict physical access and monitor for suspicious activity targeting the ASP.
Rocm: 6.2.0+ | Radeon Software Windows: 25.q2+ | Radeon Software Linux: 24.6.1+ | Firmware: Contact AMD for update
- 1. Identify the specific AMD product(s) in your environment from the affected list: Rocm, Radeon Software, Radeon Pro Vii Firmware, or Radeon Vii Firmware
- 2. For Rocm installations: Upgrade to version 6.2.0 or later by following AMD's ROCm installation documentation for your operating system
- 3. For Radeon Software (Windows): Upgrade to version 25.q2 or later via AMD Radeon Software auto-update or by downloading from amd.com/support
- 4. For Radeon Software (Linux): Upgrade to version 24.6.1 or later through your distribution's package manager or AMD's driver download page
- 5. For Radeon Pro Vii and Radeon Vii Firmware: Contact AMD support or check amd.com for firmware updates addressing this vulnerability; firmware updates may require following AMD's specific firmware flashing procedure
