Intel Gaudi software suite (SynapseAI stack): An authenticated local user can drive the Gaudi software stack
Impact
An authenticated local user can drive the Gaudi software stack into unbounded resource consumption and deny the accelerator to everything else on the node. On a bin-packed training cluster that is one tenant stalling a whole 8-card box.
Who can reach it
A local authenticated user on the node, which on most Gaudi deployments means anyone with a container that has the Gaudi devices mapped in.
What to do
Upgrade the Gaudi software suite to 1.21.0 or later. Userspace and driver package update; plan a node drain because the habanalabs driver has to be reloaded, but no BIOS or accelerator firmware flash is required.
