Summary

In the AMD Display driver (drm/amd/display) of the Linux kernel, a stack buffer overflow vulnerability was found in dc_process_dmub_aux_transfer_async. The function copies data into a 16-byte buffer without length checking, and uses link_index without bounds validation.

Risk Assessment

Stack buffer overflow can lead to system crash or remote code execution, and out-of-bounds array access can cause memory corruption.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version with the fix that adds hard runtime length checks and link_index validation.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: Validate payload length and link_index in dc_process_dmub_aux_transfer_async [Why&How] dc_process_dmub_aux_transfer_async() copies payload->length bytes into a 16-byte stack buffer (dpaux.data[16]) guarded only by an ASSERT(), which is a no-op in release builds. If a caller ever passes length > 16 this results in a stack buffer overflow via memcpy. Additionally, link_index is used to dereference dc->links[] without bounds checking against dc->link_count, risking an out-of-bounds access. Replace the ASSERT with a hard runtime check that returns false when payload->length exceeds the destination buffer size, and add a bounds check for link_index before it is used. (cherry picked from commit ba4caa9fecdf7a38f98c878ad05a8a64148b6881)
