Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/amd/display: Fix out-of-bounds access in 'dcn21_link_encoder_create'

An issue was identified in the dcn21_link_encoder_create function where an out-of-bounds access could occur when the hpd_source index was used to reference the link_enc_hpd_regs array. This array has a fixed size and the index was not being checked against the array's bounds before accessing it.

This fix adds a conditional check to ensure that the hpd_source index is within the valid range of the link_enc_hpd_regs array. If the index is out of bounds, the function now returns NULL to prevent undefined behavior.

Statement

A low impact out-of-bounds access flaw was found in the AMD display (amdgpu) driver in the Linux kernel. In the dcn21_link_encoder_create function, the hpd_source index was used to reference the fixed-size link_enc_hpd_regs array without first validating that the index was within the array bounds, which could result in an out-of-bounds read and undefined behavior during GPU/display driver initialization on affected AMD hardware. Because the issue is reachable only locally during driver initialization on affected hardware, Red Hat Product Security has rated this flaw Low impact, which differs from the Important (CVSS 7.8) severity published in the upstream CVE record. All Red Hat products currently tracked for this flaw, including the Red Hat Enterprise Linux kernel and kernel-rt streams and the Hosted OpenShift offerings, have been assessed as not affected by this issue.
