CVE-2026-68234

What the bug is

amdgpu_bo_create_reserved() only allocates a new BO when *bo_ptr (struct amdgpu_bo **bo_ptr as input parameter) is NULL, it simply skips creation when *bo_ptr is non-NULL. But it unconditionally reserves, pins, gart allocates and maps the BO afterwards. When the same non-NULL BO pointer is passed in again, for example firmware buffers that live in adev and are re-loaded on every resume / cp_resume / start under AMDGPU_FW_LOAD_DIRECT, amdgpu_bo_pin() just increases pin_count unconditionally, however the matching teardown only unpins once, so pin_count never drops to zero, so TTM is not able to move, swap or evict a BO, causing BO leaks. This commit fixes this issue by only pinning the bo once at creation, and repeated calls no longer take additional pin references. (cherry picked from commit 3ddc0ae76202c447b6aec61e907b852bc94671cf)

Where it lives

The fix touches these files. If the subsystem is one you do not use, the practical exposure is lower, though the package is still the vulnerable one.

Kernel module

amdgpu

Check it on the machine

grep -w CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU /boot/config-$(uname -r)

Reads the booted kernel's own configuration, on the machine and nowhere else. =y is built in, =m is a module, and an is not set line means the code is not there.

lsmod | grep -w amdgpu

Prints a line if that module is loaded right now, and nothing if it is not. One that is not loaded can still be loaded later by anything that needs it.

Show whether Debian builds this, per release

Debian builds this, but not on every flavour. At least one release below builds the code on some of its kernel flavours and not on others, so the answer depends on the architecture and flavour installed.
