Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Write-what-where Condition in the drm/amdgpu/jpeg process. An attacker can corrupt GPU-accessible memory, disclose information, or cause denial of service by submitting crafted command buffers with unsupported 64-bit user fences to the JPEG v3.0 decode ring via the render node device. This is only exploitable if the attacker has local access to the render node and submits commands to affected VCN 3.0.x hardware with JPEG v3.0 support.

Note: The Linux kernel project assigns a CVE to every bug fix it ships, whether or not the bug has been shown to be exploitable. This advisory was generated from that process and has not been individually assessed for exploitability. See the kernel's CVE process documentation: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/process/cve.rst
