Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2025-03-27 17:15 - Updated: 2026-08-04 10:18

Severity

7.8 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
5.5 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdkfd: Add sync after creating vram bo There will be data corruption on vram allocated by svm if the initialization is not complete and application is writting on the memory. Adding sync to wait for the initialization completion is to resolve this issue.
