Technical description

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

drm/amdkfd: fix uint32_t overflow in EOP ring buffer size alignment

eop_ring_buffer_size in struct queue_properties is a u32. In

kfd_queue_acquire_buffers() the expected EOP buffer size is computed as

ALIGN(eop_ring_buffer_size, PAGE_SIZE); ALIGN uses typeof(x), so the

addition is done in 32-bit. A user-supplied size of 0xFFFFF001 wraps to

0, causing kfd_queue_buffer_get() to skip its exact-size check (gated on

size != 0) and accept any BO mapped at the address. On GFX8/GFX9 the MQD

cp_hqd_eop_control is then programmed for an 8KB EOP ring backed by a 4KB

BO, so CP EOP writes can land past the buffer and fault the GPU.

Cast the operand to u64 so the alignment is computed in 64-bit; the size

check in kfd_queue_buffer_get() then rejects the oversized request.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-74447?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-74447 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
