  1. CVE-2025-37768: AMDGPU Division by Zero Patch for Linux Kernel

    The Linux kernel patch set that closed CVE-2025-37768 fixes a straightforward but impactful arithmetic bug in the AMD DRM driver: under certain conditions the amdgpu power-management code could perform a division by zero when a user-supplied fan speed value exceeded safe bounds, producing a...
  2. CVE-2025-37766: Azure Linux AMDGPU DoS and MSRC Attestations

    The Linux kernel vulnerability tracked as CVE-2025-37766 — a division-by-zero flaw in the AMD GPU power-management code (drm/amd/pm) — has reignited an important question for Microsoft customers: when Microsoft’s Security Response Center (MSRC) says “Azure Linux includes this open‑source library...
  3. Linux Kernel Patch CVE-2025-40354: AMD Display Stack Bounds and NULL Pointer Fix

    A small but important fix landed in the Linux kernel’s AMD display stack that corrects a sizing error and closes a local null‑pointer dereference in the DRM amdgpu code — a patch now tracked as CVE‑2025‑40354 that increases the driver’s maximum link count and guards against a NULL encoder access...
  4. Linux Kernel amdgpu BUG_ON removal fixes CVE-2025-68201 DoS risk

    A small but sharp fix landed in the Linux kernel this week: the amdgpu DRM driver had two invalid BUG_ON checks removed because they can be triggered trivially by unprivileged userspace, a defect now tracked as CVE‑2025‑68201 and addressed upstream in the stable kernel trees. Background /...
  5. CVE-2022-50393: AMDGPU SDMA Locking Fix and Linux Kernel Stability

    A small change in the Linux kernel’s AMDGPU driver has been tracked as CVE-2022-50393 — a fix that replaces a locked iterator with an unlocked iterator in an SDMA page-table update path — but the implications reach beyond a single warning message, touching kernel locking semantics, GPU/CPU...
  6. CVE-2023-53370: AMDGPU MES Fence Memory Leak Fixed in Linux Kernels

    The Linux kernel received a targeted fix for a memory-leak bug in the AMDGPU DRM driver — tracked as CVE-2023-53370 — that corrects how fences associated with an MES (Micro-Engine Scheduler) queue are cleaned up during ring finalization, closing a local denial-of-service and resource-exhaustion...
  7. CVE-2025-40334: AMDGPU VA Validation Patch Prevents Kernel Oops

    A locally reachable bug in the AMDGPU DRM driver was assigned CVE‑2025‑40334 after upstream Linux maintainers merged a defensive patch that validates user-provided GPU virtual addresses and buffer sizes for the userq (user-mode queue) facility, closing a reproducible crash/invalid-access...
  8. Linux Kernel Fix CVE-2025-40288: AMDGPU VRAM NULL Pointer Crash Resolved

    A small but important robustness fix landed in the Linux kernel this week to close CVE‑2025‑40288 — a NULL pointer dereference in the AMDGPU DRM driver’s VRAM logic that could crash systems using APU (accelerated processing unit) platforms or other configurations where the VRAM manager remains...
  9. CVE-2025-38011: Azure Linux Attestation and AMDGPU Risk Explained

    Microsoft’s brief advisory that “Azure Linux includes this open‑source library and is therefore potentially affected” is accurate — but it is a product‑scoped attestation, not a categorical statement that no other Microsoft product could include the same vulnerable kernel code. Background /...
  10. CVE-2024-49921: Linux Kernel AMDGPU NULL Pointer Dereference Fix

    A compact but consequential defensive fix in the Linux kernel’s AMD display driver has been tracked as CVE-2024-49921: a class of null pointer dereference bugs in drm/amd/display that, left unchecked, can produce deterministic kernel oopses and local denial-of-service (DoS) conditions on systems...
  11. Azure Linux CVE-2024-35931 Attestation: Is It the Only Microsoft Product Affected?

    Microsoft’s wording that “Azure Linux includes this open‑source library and is therefore potentially affected” is an important and verifiable product‑scope attestation — but it is not a blanket technical guarantee that no other Microsoft product contains the same vulnerable code. Background /...
  12. Azure Linux Attestation and CVE-2025-39707: What It Means for Microsoft

    Microsoft’s published wording that “Azure Linux includes this open‑source library and is therefore potentially affected” is an authoritative, product‑scoped attestation — but it is not a technical proof that no other Microsoft product contains the same vulnerable code. Independent evidence shows...
