CVE-2026-98177 PUBLISHED

drm/amdkfd: Avoid integer underflow in EOP ring size calculation.

Assigner: Linux
Reserved: 25.09.2026 Published: 06.10.2026 Updated: 06.10.2026

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

drm/amdkfd: Avoid integer underflow in EOP ring size calculation.

The low 6 bits of cp_hqd_eop_control store the base-2 logarithm of the EOP ring size. This was calculated as

order_base_2(q->eop_ring_buffer_size / 4) - 1

But order_base_2 can in theory return 0, so this could underflow (although in practice the ring buffer size cannot be less than 4096).

Change this to

order_base_2(q->eop_ring_buffer_size / 8)

using properties of logarithms.

Also add to the above comment to make the mathematics more clear.
