About this tag
The rocm security tag covers security issues affecting AMD’s Kernel Fusion Driver (KFD) and ROCm-related GPU compute workloads on Linux. Recent posts examine multiple CVEs involving AMDGPU KFD, including buffer overflows, unchecked size calculations, and missing input validation in debugger and memory-aperture interfaces. The coverage focuses on practical exposure for administrators running AMD GPU compute systems rather than Windows display drivers, with guidance to identify affected kernels and apply fixes from supported stable Linux branches. This archive is useful for tracking AMD compute-path vulnerabilities, understanding their scope, and following kernel update requirements for systems that depend on KFD or ROCm.
