CVE-2026-68279
NONEDescription
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/dp/mst: fix OOB reads in remote DPCD/I2C sideband reply parsers
drm_dp_sideband_parse_remote_dpcd_read() reads num_bytes from the raw
message and then unconditionally does:
memcpy(bytes, &raw->msg[idx], num_bytes);
without checking that idx + num_bytes <= raw->curlen. raw->msg[] is
256 bytes; if a malicious or misbehaving MST hub sets num_bytes larger
than the remaining payload, the memcpy reads past the received data
into whatever follows in raw->msg[].
drm_dp_sideband_parse_remote_i2c_read_ack() has the same flaw (noted
with a /* TODO check */ comment since the code was introduced).
Fix both functions by using a single combined check
(idx + num_bytes > curlen) before each memcpy. Since num_bytes is u8,
it is always >= 0, so this strictly subsumes the simpler idx > curlen
form and no separate step is needed.
