Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2025-12-08 02:15 - Updated: 2026-08-04 10:19

Severity

7.8 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: fix mapping to non-allocated address [Why] There is an issue mapping non-allocated location of memory. It would allocate gpio registers from an array out of bounds. [How] Patch correct numbers of bounds for using.

There is no network-facing path to this code.\nAC:L - On an affected DCN2/DCN3/DCN3.2 board whose VBIOS maps a DDC/OEM-I2C line to the DC_GPIO_DDCVGA_A pad, en==GPIO_DDC_LINE_DDC_VGA is produced deterministically and the \u0026ddc_shift[6]/\u0026ddc_mask[6] overread happens on every gpio open \u2014 no race, no memory-layout grooming, and the attacker can repeat connector probes at will.\nPR:L - An unprivileged local user with a normal DRM/render node handle (video/render group, granted to the active logind session on desktops and to app processes on Android) can force connector detection and EDID/I2C traffic over the affected DDC line; no CAP_SYS_ADMIN or root is required.\nUI:N - The vulnerable path is entered by the driver itself at resource-pool/link init and by any programmatic connector probe or i2c transfer; no victim action such as plugging a monitor or opening a file is needed.\nS:U - The out-of-bounds access and its effects are entirely within the kernel\u0027s own security authority (kernel .rodata read plus GPU register programming by the same driver); no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - This is an out-of-bounds read of 40 bytes of kernel .rodata beyond the end of ddc_shift[]/ddc_mask[] \u2014 well past a \"few bytes\" \u2014 and the leaked adjacent kernel constants are consumed as bitfield descriptors whose effect on the GPIO/I2C register state is observable to the caller performing DDC transactions.\nI:H - The out-of-bounds-derived shift and mask values are fed directly into REG_SET/REG_UPDATE read-modify-write sequences against the GPU\u0027s DDC GPIO MASK register, so arbitrary unintended bits of live hardware control registers are overwritten with values the driver never validated.\nA:H - Misprogramming the DDC/I2C pad control bits wedges display detection and I2C on that line, and the global-out-of-bounds access plus the resulting out-of-range shift counts trigger KASAN/UBSAN reports that panic the kernel under panic_on_warn, which is standard on hardened and Android builds."
