Summary

In the Linux kernel DRM DP MST subsystem, an out-of-bounds read vulnerability was found in sideband reply parsers. Three parsing functions read 16-bit fields without proper bounds checking, potentially reading past the buffer.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could exploit this to gain unauthorized access to data or cause a system crash.

Recommendation

Apply the patches provided by the Linux kernel vendor immediately and update the system to the latest version.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/dp/mst: fix OOB reads on 2-byte fields in sideband reply parsers Three sideband reply parsers read 16-bit fields as: val = (raw->msg[idx] << 8) | (raw->msg[idx+1]); and check bounds only after the fact. When idx == raw->curlen, raw->msg[idx+1] reads one byte past the received message data into the following struct fields (curchunk_len, curchunk_idx, curlen). Affected functions: - drm_dp_sideband_parse_enum_path_resources_ack() full_payload_bw_number and avail_payload_bw_number fields - drm_dp_sideband_parse_allocate_payload_ack() allocated_pbn field - drm_dp_sideband_parse_query_payload_ack() allocated_pbn field Fix by using a single combined check (idx + 2 > curlen) before each 2-byte read. Since the check is strictly tighter than idx > curlen, no separate step is needed. [added fixes tag]
