Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's drm/amdgpu/gfx12 component. This vulnerability allowed a local attacker to trigger a kernel crash due to an improper use of the BUG_ON() macro, which is designed to halt the system on critical errors. By replacing BUG_ON() with WARN_ON(), the kernel no longer crashes, mitigating a potential Denial of Service (DoS) condition.
Statement
This issue affects AMDGPU GFX12. BUG_ON() on error paths forces kernel panic. Systems without AMD GPUs are not affected.
