CVE-2025-0010
📋 TL;DR
This CVE describes an out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the Linux graphics driver that could allow attackers to overflow buffers and potentially execute arbitrary code or cause system crashes. It affects Linux systems using vulnerable AMD graphics drivers, particularly those with specific hardware configurations.
💻 Affected Systems
- AMD Radeon graphics drivers for Linux
⚠️ Manual Verification Required
This CVE does not have specific version information in our database, so automatic vulnerability detection cannot determine if your system is affected.
Why? The CVE database entry doesn't specify which versions are vulnerable (no version ranges provided by the vendor/NVD).

- Review the CVE details at NVD
- Check vendor security advisories for your specific version
- Test if the vulnerability is exploitable in your environment
- Consider updating to the latest version as a precaution
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Full system compromise with kernel-level privileges, allowing complete control over the affected system, data theft, and persistence mechanisms.
Likely Case
Local privilege escalation from a standard user to root, system instability, or denial of service through kernel panics.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper access controls, potentially only causing application crashes without privilege escalation.
🎯 Exploit Status
Requires local access and ability to execute code; kernel driver vulnerabilities typically require specific timing or conditions for reliable exploitation.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Check AMD advisory for specific patched driver versions
Vendor Advisory: https://www.amd.com/en/resources/product-security/bulletin/AMD-SB-6018.html
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
1. Visit AMD advisory URL 2. Identify affected driver version 3. Download and install patched driver from AMD 4. Verify installation with version check
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Restrict graphics driver access
LinuxLimit access to graphics driver interfaces using kernel module blacklisting or access controls
echo 'blacklist amdgpu' >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
update-initramfs -u
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement strict access controls to prevent unauthorized local users from executing code
- Monitor system logs for unusual graphics driver activity or crash reports
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check AMD driver version against advisory: modinfo amdgpu | grep versionCheck Version:
modinfo amdgpu | grep versionVerify Fix Applied:
Verify installed driver version matches or exceeds patched version from AMD advisory📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Kernel oops messages related to amdgpu driver
- Graphics driver crash reports in system logs
- Unexpected privilege escalation attempts
Network Indicators:
- None - local exploitation only
SIEM Query:
source="kernel" AND ("amdgpu" OR "GPU") AND ("Oops" OR "panic" OR "segfault")
