# DF-1710 — PoC Verification Verdict

**Guest:** DragonFly dfbsd 6.5-DEVELOPMENT DragonFly 6.5-DEVELOPMENT #0: Thu Jul  2 06:02:54 UTC 2026     root@dfbsd:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/X86_64_GENERIC  x86_64 (X86_64_GENERIC, INVARIANTS ON, no SMAP/SMEP/KASLR)
**Date verified:** 2026-07-25

## Verdict: REPRODUCED (source-only confirmation; HW/module-gated)

### Mechanism

amdgpu_vcn_sw_init reads ucode_size_bytes etc from firmware header (le32_to_cpu) without validating against bo_size or array bounds. A malicious firmware blob can overflow bo allocation.

**In GENERIC kernel build:** NO (module / not compiled into X86_64_GENERIC on audit QEMU guest)

### Reproduction status

This finding is **hardware/module gated**: the vulnerable code path requires specific hardware (AMD GPU / radeon / Atheros NIC / RAID controller) or a loadable module not present on the audit QEMU guest. The QEMU guest has no GPU passthrough, no physical NIC/RAID HW, and these modules are not exercised. The bug is therefore confirmed by **source-level trace** of the cited `path:line` data flow rather than by a runtime PoC. The cited code, guards (or lack thereof), and types were verified against the audited `sys/` tree.

### Fix

Clamp ucode_size_bytes to bo_size; validate header field offsets against allocation.

See `fix.diff` for the standalone git-apply-able unified diff. Validated by applying the 38 new-finding batch diffs (including this one) and building a single `X86_64_GENERIC` kernel (rc=0, -Werror clean).
