# CVE-2024-57897: drm/amdkfd: Correct the migration DMA map direction > Incorrect DMA map direction in the AMD KFD driver triggers a kernel warning, potentially leading to system instability or denial of service. - **Severity:** Medium 5.5 (`CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H`) - **Exploited in the wild:** Not known - **Login needed:** Any signed-in user - **Attackable:** Local or same network only - **Victim action needed:** Not needed - **Fix available:** Yes - **Published:** 15 Jan 2025 - **Updated:** 11 May 2026 - **Also known as:** BELL-CVE-2024-57897, DEBIAN-CVE-2024-57897, GHSA-3xg6-m2m6-mr95, ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2024-57897, UBUNTU-CVE-2024-57897 ## What is CVE-2024-57897? CVE-2024-57897 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Linux kernel, published on 15 Jan 2025. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim. ### Official description 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.

What it is: CVE-2024-57897 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Linux kernel, published on 15 Jan 2025. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim. Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-57897 in the wild and no public exploit code. Affected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page. Task: 1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies. 2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it. 3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead. 4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why. 5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
