Linux Kernel Gfx11 MQD Manager Callback NULL Dereference Vulnerability

Vulnerability

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's graphics processing unit (GPU) driver for Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has been addressed. The issue involved a NULL pointer dereference in the debug filesystem (debugfs) related to the Graphics 11 (gfx11) Microqueue Descriptor (MQD) management. The problem arose because the MQD manager callbacks for gfx11 were not properly assigned, leading to the NULL dereference. This vulnerability affects several versions of the Linux kernel.

Impact
