HighCVSS 7.8 · v3.1—No exploit Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 31/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.28% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Linux Linux 06c6f8f86ec243b89e52f0c3dc7062bcb9de74df, 2cf49e00d40d5132e3d067b5aa6d84791929ab15, 74aafe99efb68f15e50be9f7032c2168512f98a8.
  • Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 06c6f8f86ec243b89e52f0c3dc7062bcb9de74df, 2cf49e00d40d5132e3d067b5aa6d84791929ab15, 74aafe99efb68f15e50be9f7032c2168512f98a8 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/amdkfd: Fix kernel panic when reset failed and been triggered again In SRIOV configuration, the reset may failed to bring asic back to normal but stop cpsch already been called, the start_cpsch will not be called since there is no resume in this case.
