CVE-2026-89809CVE-2026-89809
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdkfd: fix scope of mqd_mgr dereference in pqm_debugfs_mqds
Reading /sys/kernel/debug/kfd/mqds while a process holds an active KFD
queue triggers a NULL pointer dereference because the for loop that
calls mqd_mgr->debugfs_show_mqd() is incorrectly placed outside the
if (pqn->q) block that initializes mqd_mgr.
The queue list can contain entries where pqn->q is NULL (kernel queues
where only pqn->kq is valid). In the original code:
if (pqn->q) {
...
mqd_mgr = q->device->dqm->mqd_mgrs[mqd_type];
size = mqd_mgr->mqd_stride(...);
}
for (xcc = 0; xcc < num_xccs; xcc++) { // WRONG: outside if block
mqd = q->mqd + size * xcc;
r = mqd_mgr->debugfs_show_mqd(m, mqd);
}
When iterating over a queue node where pqn->q is NULL:
1. The if (pqn->q) block is skipped
2. mqd_mgr remains uninitialized (NULL from declaration)
3. The for loop executes anyway
4. mqd_mgr->debugfs_show_mqd(m, mqd
