CVE-2024-57897 — Linux Linux Kernel security vulnerability

Medium CVSS 5.5

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdkfd: Correct the migration DMA map direction The SVM DMA device map direction should be set the same as the DMA unmap setting, otherwise the DMA core will report the following warning. Before finialize this solution, there're some discussion on the DMA mapping type(stream-based or coherent) in this KFD migration case, followed by https://lore.kernel.org/all/04d4ab32 -45a1-4b88-86ee-fb0f35a0ca40@amd.com/T/. As there's no dma_sync_single_for_*() in the DMA buffer accessed that because this migration operation should be sync properly and automatically. Give that there's might not be a performance problem in various cache sync policy of DMA sync. Therefore, in order to simplify the DMA direction setting alignment, let's set the DMA map direction as BIDIRECTIONAL.

Matched remediation archetype

General vulnerability remediation

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Confirm the affected component, deployment paths, reachable interfaces, and enabled features from inventories and configuration, without probing production destructively.
  • Compare the advisory's affected conditions with the repository lockfiles, build manifests, artifacts, and runtime inventory.
  • Identify data sensitivity, trust boundaries, and privilege level for every confirmed affected deployment.

Remediate safely

  • Apply a vendor-supported fix or remove the affected component or feature; record the selected change and its source in the repository.
  • Update direct and transitive dependency locks, generated artifacts, deployment manifests, and asset inventories together.
  • Add a regression test for the documented unsafe condition using inert inputs and preserve rollback instructions.
