CVE-2026-31765 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: Change AMDGPU_VA_RESERVED_TRAP_SIZE to 64KB Currently, AMDGPU_VA_RESERVED_TRAP_SIZE is hardcoded to 8KB, while KFD_CWSR_TBA_TMA_SIZE is defined as 2 * PAGE_SIZE. On systems with 4K pages, both values match (8KB), so allocation and reserved space are consistent. However, on 64K page-size systems, KFD_CWSR_TBA_TMA_SIZE becomes 128KB, while the reserved trap area remains 8KB. This mismatch causes the kernel to crash when running rocminfo or rccl unit tests. Kernel attempted to read user page (2) - exploit attempt?

This means we reserve 64 KB for the trap in the address space, but only allocate 8 KB within it. With this approach, the allocation size never exceeds the reserved area. (cherry picked from commit 31b8de5e55666f26ea7ece5f412b83eab3f56dbb)
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's AMDGPU driver can lead to a NULL pointer dereference, causing a kernel crash. This issue arises on systems with 64K page sizes, where the reserved trap area is incorrectly set to 8KB. This mismatch becomes problematic when the kernel attempts to read user page 2, particularly during the execution of 'rocminfo' or 'rccl' unit tests. The crash occurs because the kernel accesses a bad memory area, triggering a segmentation fault. The vulnerability is linked to the hardcoded value of 'AMDGPU_VA_RESERVED_TRAP_SIZE', which fails to align with the larger memory requirements of 64K page systems.
The vulnerability has been addressed by changing the 'AMDGPU_VA_RESERVED_TRAP_SIZE' to 64KB and adjusting the 'KFD_CWSR_TBA_TMA_SIZE' to match the AMDGPU page size. Users should update to the latest version of the Linux kernel where this patch is applied.
