CVE-2026-80541 — drm/amdgpu: validate GEM_CREATE domain combinations

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: validate GEM_CREATE domain combinations AMDGPU_GEM_CREATE checked domain bits against AMDGPU_GEM_DOMAIN_MASK, but did not validate domain combinations. Userspace could combine CPU|GTT|VRAM with DOORBELL, GDS, GWS, or OA, making amdgpu_bo_placement_from_domain() exceed AMDGPU_BO_MAX_PLACEMENTS and hit BUG_ON(). Allow combinations only within CPU/GTT/VRAM, and require non-CPU/GTT/ VRAM domains to be specified one at a time. Return -EINVAL for invalid combinations in amdgpu_gem_create_ioctl(). v2: Rename helper from amdgpu_gem_domain_valid() to amdgpu_gem_are_domains_valid() (Christian) (cherry picked from commit db39852d0c39843cb02048dfb47e4b8c703e9080)

Low

Who exploits it and how urgent it is

A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.

No exploitation signal in the sources consulted so far.

How the score was calculated

Technical severity (high)+6

The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).

Triage

Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.

Exploitation

Not confirmed

Not in CISA KEV — an absence of record, not proof it is unexploited.

Remediation

Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.

No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.

Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.

Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Linux Linux).
No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
