That’s not to mention the performance benefits GPU drivers often bring.
The first batch of issues was resolved with Radeon Software version 20.7.1, but the final issues didn’t receive fixes until version 21.4.1. AMD has addressed all of the issues through driver updates, but the company didn’t get to all of them at once. You don’t need to be a cybersecurity expert to know that these vulnerabilities put your PC at risk. Another (CVE-2020-12892) has an untrusted search path in the Radeon installer, which could lead to privilege escalation or unauthorized code execution. One of the issues (CVE-2020-12960) causes amdfendr.sys to handle input validation incorrectly, which could lead to denial of service. These vulnerabilities, according to AMD, “could result in escalation of privilege, denial of service, information disclosure, KASLR bypass, or arbitrary write to kernel memory,” so we recommend updating your GPU drivers as soon as possible.ĪMD listed the vulnerabilities in a security bulletin, saying that 18 of the 27 issues are of “high” severity.
AMD revealed 27 security risks in its Radeon graphics drivers for Windows 10.
