Out-of-Bounds Read in Linux kernel (CVE-2024-53108)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2024-53108). Confidential information can be exposed externally.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Adjust VSDB parser for replay feature
At some point, the IEEE ID identification for the replay check in the
AMD EDID was added. However, this check causes the following
out-of-bounds issues when using KASAN:
[ 27.804016] BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in amdgpu_dm_update_freesync_caps+0xefa/0x17a0 [amdgpu]

[ 27.821268] ==================================================================
This is caused because the ID extraction happens outside of the range of
the edid lenght. This commit addresses this issue by considering the
amd_vsdb_block size.
