cve 2024 46730

CVE-2024-46730 is a Linux kernel vulnerability in the AMD DRM display subsystem (amdgpu driver) that can cause a denial-of-service via a negative array index when the driver assumes at least one timing generator is present. The flaw, identified through static analysis, allows a local attacker or untrusted process with access to DRM device paths to trigger a kernel oops or driver failure, potentially crashing the display stack or host. The upstream fix is a small defensive check. This tag covers discussions about the vulnerability, its impact, and mitigation strategies for affected Linux systems.
