Summary

In the Linux kernel's drm_log_draw_kmsg_record() function, there is an out-of-bounds read when the message length is 0. The function accesses s[len - 1], where len is unsigned int, causing a wrap to UINT_MAX when len=0, leading to an out-of-bounds read.

Risk Assessment

This could lead to system crashes or unpredictable behavior, especially during kernel message logging.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that adds an early return when len is 0.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/log: Fix out-of-bounds read on empty message length drm_log_draw_kmsg_record() accesses s[len - 1] to strip the trailing newline, but len is unsigned int. If len is 0, the subtraction wraps to UINT_MAX, causing an out-of-bounds read. Add an early return when len is 0.
