Summary

In the Linux kernel's DRM driver for HDMI connectors, there is an out-of-bounds memory read issue. A helper function copies an audio infoframe into the connector's copy using the destination size (60 bytes) instead of the source size (28 bytes), causing a read beyond the allocated buffer.

Risk Assessment

Although it is a read, not a write, it could lead to system crashes (e.g., accvio bug) if it falls off the end of a page, potentially affecting system stability.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that uses the source size instead of the destination size.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/connector/hdmi: Fix out of bounds memory read A helper function was copying a given audio infoframe into the connector's copy but using the size of the destination (a generic target, sized to accept many different data blocks) not the source (a very specific type of data block). Thus, it was copying 60 bytes of data from a 28 byte allocation. Fix that by using the source size instead, together with a build bug on the source size actually being smaller than the destination. I hit this running KUnit tests under KASAN (while debugging something else entirely). In the real world, it seems unlikely to cause an actual problem. It is a read not a write so it can't corrupt any memory. However, it could potentially fall off the end of a page and cause an accvio bug.
