Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdkfd: Fix watch_id bounds checking in debug address watch v2
The address watch clear code receives watch_id as an unsigned value
(u32), but some helper functions were using a signed int and checked
bits by shifting with watch_id.
If a very large watch_id is passed from userspace, it can be converted
to a negative value. This can cause invalid shifts and may access
memory outside the watch_points array.
drm/amdkfd: Fix watch_id bounds checking in debug address watch v2
Fix this by checking that watch_id is within MAX_WATCH_ADDRESSES before
using it. Also use BIT(watch_id) to test and clear bits safely.
This keeps the behavior unchanged for valid watch IDs and avoids
undefined behavior for invalid ones.
Fixes the below:
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../amdkfd/kfd_debug.c:448
kfd_dbg_trap_clear_dev_address_watch() error: buffer overflow
'pdd->watch_points' 4 <= u32max user_rl='0-3,2147483648-u32max' uncapped
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../amdkfd/kfd_debug.c
433 int kfd_dbg_trap_clear_dev_address_watch(struct kfd_process_device *pdd,
434 uint32_t watch_id)
435 {
436 int r;
437
438 if (!kfd_dbg_owns_dev_watch_id(pdd, watch_id))
kfd_dbg_owns_dev_watch_id() doesn't check for negative values so if
watch_id is larger than INT_MAX it leads to a buffer overflow.
(Negative shifts are undefined).
439 return -EINVAL;
440
441 if (!pdd->dev->kfd->shared_resources.enable_mes) {
442 r = debug_lock_and_unmap(pdd->dev->dqm);
443 if (r)
444 return r;
445 }
446
447 amdgpu_gfx_off_ctrl(pdd->dev->adev, false);
--> 448 pdd->watch_points[watch_id] = pdd->dev->kfd2kgd->clear_address_watch(
449 pdd->dev->adev,
450 watch_id);
v2: (as per, Jonathan Kim)
- Add early watch_id >= MAX_WATCH_ADDRESSES validation in the set path to
match the clear path.
- Drop the redundant bounds check in kfd_dbg_owns_dev_watch_id().
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-45878 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
