drm/amd/display: Fix potential index out of bounds in color transformation function

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 31/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.29% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Linux Linux 04bc4d1090c343025d69149ca669a27c5b9c34a7, 123edbae64f4d21984359b99c6e79fcde31c6123, 4e8c8b37ee84b3b19c448d2b8e4c916d2f5b9c86.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 04bc4d1090c343025d69149ca669a27c5b9c34a7, 123edbae64f4d21984359b99c6e79fcde31c6123, 4e8c8b37ee84b3b19c448d2b8e4c916d2f5b9c86 or later.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: Fix potential index out of bounds in color transformation function Fixes index out of bounds issue in the color transformation function. The issue could occur when the index 'i' exceeds the number of transfer function points (TRANSFER_FUNC_POINTS). The fix adds a check to ensure 'i' is within bounds before accessing the transfer function points. If 'i' is out of bounds, an error message is logged and the function returns false to indicate an error.
