Summary

The Linux kernel's AMD GPU compute driver (amdkfd, part of the DRM graphics subsystem) is affected. When enabling the debug trap fails while copying runtime information back to user space, the driver leaves the trap partly enabled, which can leave its state inconsistent and its reference counts unbalanced, potentially causing later debug disable or enable requests to malfunction.

Summarized by anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5. Verify details against the original sources.

Read the original description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdkfd: Unwind debug trap enable on copy_to_user failure If kfd_dbg_trap_enable() fails while copying runtime_info to userspace, it had already activated the trap, set debug_trap_enabled, taken an extra process reference, and opened the debug event file. Return -EFAULT without unwinding that state, leaving inconsistent trap state and a refcount imbalance that could break later DISABLE/ENABLE. On copy_to_user failure, deactivate the trap and undo the rest of the enable setup before returning.
