CVE-2026-45878 is a bounds-checking vulnerability in the Linux kernel drm/amdkfd debug address-watch functionality. The address-watch clear interface accepts watch_id as an unsigned 32-bit integer, while helper functions handle it as a signed int. Values larger than INT_MAX can become negative in helper logic, bypassing validation and causing undefined bit shifts. The unchecked identifier is subsequently used as an array index in kfd_dbg_trap_clear_dev_address_watch(), potentially writing outside the process-device watch_points array. The fix validates identifiers against MAX_WATCH_ADDRESSES in both set and clear paths before use and uses BIT(watch_id) for bit operations.
