CVE-2026-74447
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 · uneditedIn the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdkfd: fix uint32_t overflow in EOP ring buffer size alignment eop_ring_buffer_size in struct queue_properties is a u32. In kfd_queue_acquire_buffers() the expected EOP buffer size is computed as ALIGN(eop_ring_buffer_size, PAGE_SIZE); ALIGN uses typeof(x), so the addition is done in 32-bit. A user-supplied size of 0xFFFFF001 wraps to 0, causing kfd_queue_buffer_get() to skip its exact-size check (gated on size != 0) and accept any BO mapped at the address. On GFX8/GFX9 the MQD cp_hqd_eop_control is then programmed for an 8KB EOP ring backed by a 4KB BO, so CP EOP writes can land past the buffer and fault the GPU. Cast the operand to u64 so the alignment is computed in 64-bit; the size check in kfd_queue_buffer_get() then rejects the oversized request. (cherry picked from commit ae443117b742c357bfef3a7bddabf76fcf86e9ef)

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 · scopedUpgrade to a kernel version that includes the backport of commit ae443117b742c357bfef3a7bddabf76fcf86e9ef. Check your distribution's kernel security advisories for the specific version containing this fix.
- Identify the affected file in the Linux kernel source, typically in drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdkfd/kfd_queue.c or similar location within the amdkfd driver
- Locate the kfd_queue_acquire_buffers() function where the ALIGN() computation occurs
- Modify the ALIGN() call to cast eop_ring_buffer_size to u64 before alignment: ALIGN((u64)eop_ring_buffer_size, PAGE_SIZE) instead of ALIGN(eop_ring_buffer_size, PAGE_SIZE)
- Alternatively, ensure eop_ring_buffer_size in struct queue_properties is defined as u64 rather than u32 to prevent the overflow at source
- Rebuild the kernel with the amdkfd driver module or as part of the full kernel build
- Verify the fix by testing with the malicious input value 0xFFFFF001 to confirm the size check in kfd_queue_buffer_get() properly rejects the oversized request
- Apply the same fix to any upstream kernel versions that received the cherry-pick commit ae443117b742c357bfef3a7bddabf76fcf86e9ef
