Overview

CVE-2025-37854 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on May 9, 2025 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8, rated HIGH. 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/amdkfd: Fix mode1 reset crash issue

If HW scheduler hangs and mode1 reset is used to recover GPU, KFD signal

user space to abort the processes. After process abort exit, user queues

still use the GPU to access system memory before h/w is reset while KFD

cleanup worker free system memory and free VRAM.

There is use-after-free race bug that KFD allocate and reuse the freed

system memory, and user queue write to the same system memory to corrupt

the data structure and cause driver crash.

To fix this race, KFD cleanup worker terminate user queues, then flush

reset_domain wq to wait for any GPU ongoing reset complete, and then

free outstanding BOs.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. 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.
