Overview

CVE-2024-56753 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on December 29, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5 (MEDIUM).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5, rated MEDIUM. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/amdgpu/gfx9: Add Cleaner Shader Deinitialization in gfx_v9_0 Module

This commit addresses an omission in the previous patch related to the

cleaner shader support for GFX9 hardware. Specifically, it adds the

necessary deinitialization code for the cleaner shader in the

gfx_v9_0_sw_fini function.

The added line amdgpu_gfx_cleaner_shader_sw_fini(adev); ensures that any

allocated resources for the cleaner shader are freed correctly, avoiding

potential memory leaks and ensuring that the GPU state is clean for the

next initialization sequence.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from linux. Update linux_kernel to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
