LIN1021-12820 : Security Advisory - linux - CVE-2024-56616

Created: Dec 27, 2024    Updated: May 27, 2025
Resolved Date: May 21, 2025
Found In Version: 10.21.20.1
Fix Version: 10.21.20.25
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 21
Component/s: Kernel

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/dp_mst: Fix MST sideband message body length check

Fix the MST sideband message body length check, which must be at least 1
byte accounting for the message body CRC (aka message data CRC) at the
end of the message.

This fixes a case where an MST branch device returns a header with a
correct header CRC (indicating a correctly received body length), with
the body length being incorrectly set to 0. This will later lead to a
memory corruption in drm_dp_sideband_append_payload() and the following
errors in dmesg:

   UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in drivers/gpu/drm/display/drm_dp_mst_topology.c:786:25
