Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: fix a UBSAN warning in DML2.1 When programming phantom pipe, since cursor_width is explicity set to 0, this causes calculation logic to trigger overflow for an unsigned int triggering the kernel's UBSAN check as below: [ 40.962845] UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in /tmp/amd.EfpumTkO/amd/amdgpu/../display/dc/dml2/dml21/src/dml2_core/dml2_core_dcn4_calcs.c:3312:34 [ 40.962849] shift exponent 4294967170 is too large for 32-bit type 'unsigned int' [ 40.962852] CPU: 1 PID: 1670 Comm: gnome-shell Tainted: G W OE 6.5.0-41-generic #41~22.04.2-Ubuntu [ 40.962854] Hardware name: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Forced Integer Overflow
    This attack forces an integer variable to go out of range. The integer variable is often used as an offset such as size of memory allocation or similarly. The attacker would typically control the value of such variable and try to get it out of range. For instance the integer in question is incremented past the maximum possible value, it may wrap to become a very small, or negative number, therefore providing a very incorrect value which can lead to unexpected behavior. At worst the attacker can execute arbitrary code.
