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

drm/amd/display: Fix index out of bounds in DCN30 degamma hardware format translation

This commit addresses a potential index out of bounds issue in the cm3helpertranslatecurvetodegammahwformat function in the DCN30 color management module. The issue could occur when the index 'i' exceeds the number of transfer function points (TRANSFERFUNCPOINTS).

The fix adds a check to ensure 'i' is within bounds before accessing the transfer function points. If 'i' is out of bounds, the function returns false to indicate an error.
