This can cause invalid shifts and may access\nmemory outside the watch_points array.\n\ndrm/amdkfd: Fix watch_id bounds checking in debug address watch v2\n\nFix this by checking that watch_id is within MAX_WATCH_ADDRESSES before\nusing it.  Also use BIT(watch_id) to test and clear bits safely.\n\nThis keeps the behavior unchanged for valid watch IDs and avoids\nundefined behavior for invalid ones.\n\nFixes the below:\ndrivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../amdkfd/kfd_debug.c:448\nkfd_dbg_trap_clear_dev_address_watch() error: buffer overflow\n'pdd->watch_points' 4 <= u32max user_rl='0-3,2147483648-u32max' uncapped\n\ndrivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../amdkfd/kfd_debug.c\n    433 int kfd_dbg_trap_clear_dev_address_watch(struct kfd_process_device *pdd,\n    434                                         uint32_t watch_id)\n    435 {\n    436         int r;\n    437\n    438         if (!kfd_dbg_owns_dev_watch_id(pdd, watch_id))\n\nkfd_dbg_owns_dev_watch_id() doesn't check for negative values so if\nwatch_id is larger than INT_MAX it leads to a buffer overflow.\n(Negative shifts are undefined).\n\n    439                 return -EINVAL;\n    440\n    441         if (!pdd->dev->kfd->shared_resources.enable_mes) {\n    442                 r = debug_lock_and_unmap(pdd->dev->dqm);\n    443                 if (r)\n    444                         return r;\n    445         }\n    446\n    447         amdgpu_gfx_off_ctrl(pdd->dev->adev, false);\n--> 448         pdd->watch_points[watch_id] = pdd->dev->kfd2kgd->clear_address_watch(\n    449                                                         pdd->dev->adev,\n    450                                                         watch_id);\n\nv2: (as per, Jonathan Kim)\n - Add early watch_id >= MAX_WATCH_ADDRESSES validation in the set path to\n   match the clear path.\n - Drop the redundant bounds check in kfd_dbg_owns_dev_watch_id().","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.8},"cwes":["CWE-125"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2b36c0c1bcbbe15f6cfa9652084b3124c835a150","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3c38a0f07aa2bfef2b219b1f045534ad93f85afd","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5a19302cab5cec7ae7f1a60c619951e6c17d8742","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/971bf8e61e9b4abaacf9b35eaf76ec222758f9d6","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a0d367e13db63a6ed76ee0d0a8c3a58c1fa98488"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-21T03:43:09.190223697+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-45878","score":0.00207,"percentile":0.10725,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
