Official Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/amdkfd: Fix buffer overflow in SDMA queue checkpoint/restore on GFX11

The v11 MQD manager incorrectly assigned the CP-compute variants of

checkpoint_mqd/restore_mqd for KFD_MQD_TYPE_SDMA queues. These functions

use sizeof(struct v11_compute_mqd) (2048 bytes) instead of sizeof(struct

v11_sdma_mqd) (512 bytes), causing a 1536-byte overflow.

During CRIU checkpoint of an SDMA queue on Navi3x:

- checkpoint_mqd() reads 2048 bytes from a 512-byte SDMA MQD buffer,

leaking 1536 bytes of adjacent GTT memory to userspace

During CRIU restore:

- restore_mqd() writes 2048 bytes into a 512-byte SDMA MQD buffer,

corrupting 1536 bytes of adjacent GTT memory (often the ring buffer

or neighboring MQDs)

This is a copy-paste regression unique to v11. All other ASIC backends

(cik, vi, v9, v10, v12) correctly use the SDMA-specific variants.

Add checkpoint_mqd_sdma() and restore_mqd_sdma() functions that properly

handle the smaller v11_sdma_mqd structure, matching the pattern used in

other MQD managers.

(cherry picked from commit 6fa41db7ffdec97d62433adf03b7b9b759af8c2c)

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-53143 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.

Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.

A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 7.0.
