AMD Xilinx Run Time Privilege Escalation Vulnerability

A vulnerability has been identified in the AMD Xilinx Run Time (XRT) framework, specifically within the user space XRT driver (XOCL). This vulnerability arises from insufficient validation, which could enable a local attacker to escalate privileges from user space to kernel space. Such an escalation could potentially compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized privilege escalation, allowing a local attacker to gain kernel-level access, with potential implications for system confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Remediation

Users are advised to update the XRT drivers to version 2025.1 or later to address this vulnerability.
