Submitting a 64-bit user fence to a ring that only supports 32-bit fence writes causes the VCN hardware to perform misdirected or out-of-bounds GPU memory writes, providing a memory-corruption primitive that can be leveraged for information disclosure.\\nI:H - The unsupported fence write gives the attacker a GPU-initiated arbitrary-write primitive at attacker-chosen GPU virtual addresses within their VM mappings, which is memory corruption exploitable for further integrity compromise or code execution.\\nA:H - Incorrect fence handling on the VCN encoder ring can hang or fault the GPU, trigger driver error-recovery paths, and cause system-wide graphics disruption or kernel oops, constituting high availability impact.\"}]}], \"affected\": [{\"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\", \"vendor\": \"Linux\", \"product\": \"Linux\", \"versions\": [{\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"b889ef4ac98837838c38f7b9f72bba2f33ee367d\", \"lessThan\": \"c12a5d35033c0640c57c10d7111c010c7b9c2c8e\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"b889ef4ac98837838c38f7b9f72bba2f33ee367d\", \"lessThan\": \"387b7c7667bd5c53549350ddad866d2fcf75a529\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"b889ef4ac98837838c38f7b9f72bba2f33ee367d\", \"lessThan\": \"9076a83e5adefd10dc5c967c7b8bde601c4c512a\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"b889ef4ac98837838c38f7b9f72bba2f33ee367d\", \"lessThan\": \"0177ac6141c8857130cf365369c74dee7b6b1f7f\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"b889ef4ac98837838c38f7b9f72bba2f33ee367d\", \"lessThan\": \"4532b52b34e4e4310386e6fdf6a643368599f522\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}], \"programFiles\": [\"drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/vcn_v4_0_3.c\"], \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\"}, {\"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\", \"vendor\": \"Linux\", \"product\": \"Linux\", \"versions\": [{\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"6.5\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"0\", \"lessThan\": \"6.5\", \"versionType\": \"semver\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.6.141\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.6.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.12.91\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.12.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.18.33\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.18.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"7.0.10\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"7.0.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"7.1\", \"versionType\": \"original_commit_for_fix\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"*\"}], \"programFiles\": [\"drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/vcn_v4_0_3.c\"], \"defaultStatus\": \"affected\"}], \"references\": [{\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c12a5d35033c0640c57c10d7111c010c7b9c2c8e\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/387b7c7667bd5c53549350ddad866d2fcf75a529\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9076a83e5adefd10dc5c967c7b8bde601c4c512a\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0177ac6141c8857130cf365369c74dee7b6b1f7f\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4532b52b34e4e4310386e6fdf6a643368599f522\"}], \"x_generator\": {\"engine\": \"bippy-1.2.0\"}, \"descriptions\": [{\"lang\": \"en\", \"value\": \"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\\n\\ndrm/amdgpu/vcn: set no_user_fence for VCN v4.0.3 enc ring\\n\\nVCN encoder and decoder rings do not support 64-bit user fence writes,\\nreject CS submissions with user fences.\\n\\n(cherry picked from commit ff1a5a125c5a70c328806b9bc01d7d942cf3f9aa)\"}], \"cpeApplicability\": [{\"nodes\": [{\"negate\": false, \"cpeMatch\": [{\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"6.6.141\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"6.5\"}, {\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"6.12.91\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"6.5\"}, {\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"6.18.33\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"6.5\"}, {\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"7.0.10\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"6.5\"}, {\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"7.1\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"6.5\"}], \"operator\": \"OR\"}]}], \"providerMetadata\": {\"orgId\": \"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\", \"shortName\": \"Linux\", \"dateUpdated\": \"2026-08-05T12:36:30.612Z\"}}}",
