CVE-2024-44961

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's drm/amdgpu component. A local attacker could exploit this by repeatedly submitting hanging command buffers. This improper handling of soft recovery errors can lead to a system hard reset, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).

The CVSS score(s) listed for this vulnerability do not reflect the associated product's status, and are included for informational purposes to better understand the severity of this vulnerability.

To prevent the amdgpu kernel module from loading, blacklist it using a modprobe configuration. This action may disable functionality dependent on AMD GPUs.

echo "blacklist amdgpu" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/amdgpu-blacklist.conf
sudo dracut -f --regenerate-all

A system reboot is required for the changes to take effect.
