Title
drm/amdkfd: Check bounds for allocate_sdma_queue restore_sdma_id
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdkfd: Check bounds for allocate_sdma_queue restore_sdma_id allocate_sdma_queue has an option where the sdma queue id can be specified (used by CRIU). We weren't bounds-checking that value. Confirm it's less than the maximum number of queues.
Severity

CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE is the delegated non-root capability already held by CRIU tooling and container checkpoint services, matching limited local privilege rather than init-namespace root.\nUI:N - The attacker opens their own /dev/kfd (kfd_open -\u003e kfd_init_apertures creates PDDs) and issues KFD_CRIU_OP_RESTORE against that process; no other user must mount media, open a file, or interact.\nS:U - allocate_sdma_queue()\u0027s OOB test_bit()/clear_bit() on the kzalloc\u0027d device_queue_manager sdma_bitmap corrupts host kernel slab inside amdkfd. That stays in the same kernel authority; it is not a KVM/Xen guest-to-host escape or an IOMMU/DMA bypass.\nC:H - restore_sdma_id is a user uint32_t used as the bit index into a KFD_MAX_SDMA_QUEUES (128-bit) dqm-\u003esdma_bitmap. test_bit() of an out-of-range index is an unbounded kernel-bit read (the ioctl returns -EBUSY iff the bit is clear), which is not a few-byte leak.\nI:H - When that out-of-range bit is set, allocate_sdma_queue() does clear_bit(*restore_sdma_id, dqm-\u003esdma_bitmap), a one-bit write at an attacker-chosen offset past the 128-bit map into later dqm fields (fence_addr, hung_db_array) or adjacent kmalloc objects, an OOB write.\nA:H - test_bit()/clear_bit() of a restore_sdma_id whose bitmap word is unmapped oopses inside allocate_sdma_queue(); the same OOB clear can smash dqm pointers and flags and panic the host."
