Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. Specifically, within the drm/amdgpu/vcn4 component, a time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTOU) vulnerability exists. This occurs because the system re-reads the IB parameter length instead of reusing an already obtained value. This could allow a local attacker to potentially manipulate the IB contents between reads, leading to unexpected behavior or a denial of service.

Statement

This issue affects AMDGPU systems using VCN 4 video encode. The driver re-reads IB parameter length from userspace IBs instead of reusing the validated value, creating a TOCTOU window. Systems without AMD GPUs are not affected.
