Description
A flaw was found in the drm/amdgpu/sdma5.2 component of the Linux kernel. A local attacker could potentially trigger a condition that would previously lead to a kernel panic due to a BUG_ON() macro. This vulnerability could result in a system-wide Denial of Service (DoS), making the system unresponsive. The issue has been resolved by replacing the BUG_ON() with WARN_ON(), which logs a warning instead of crashing the kernel.
Statement
This issue affects AMDGPU SDMA 5.2. Certain error paths used BUG_ON(), forcing kernel panic. Systems without AMD GPUs are not affected.
