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 · unedited
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdkfd: Correct the migration DMA map direction The SVM DMA device map direction should be set the same as the DMA unmap setting, otherwise the DMA core will report the following warning. Before finialize this solution, there're some discussion on the DMA mapping type(stream-based or coherent) in this KFD migration case, followed by https://lore.kernel.org/all/04d4ab32 [email protected]/T/. As there's no dma_sync_single_for_*() in the DMA buffer accessed that because this migration operation should be sync properly and automatically. Give that there's might not be a performance problem in various cache sync policy of DMA sync. Therefore, in order to simplify the DMA direction setting alignment, let's set the DMA map direction as BIDIRECTIONAL.

Vendor patch git.kernel.org →
Recommended fix High confidence

Kernel version >= 5.15.176 (or 6.1.124, 6.6.70, 6.12.9 depending on branch)

  1. Check current kernel version: uname -r
  2. Update kernel package to version >= 5.15.176, 6.1.124, 6.6.70, or 6.12.9 depending on your distribution's kernel
  3. For Debian/Ubuntu: apt-get update && apt-get install linux-image-<version>
  4. For RHEL/CentOS: yum update kernel
  5. For Fedora: dnf update kernel
  6. Reboot system to load the fixed kernel: systemctl reboot
Caveat Kernel upgrades may require driver revalidation; ensure GPU drivers (amdgpu) are compatible with new kernel
