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

drm/amdgpu: Bound GPIO I2C table entry count from VBIOS

Reject undersized tables and cap the derived entry count to AMDGPUMAXI2CBUS so we do not overrun adev->i2cbus[] or walk an absurd number of entries on corrupt size fields.

Frequently Asked Questions

1

Which systems are exposed to this issue?

Systems running the Linux kernel with the AMDGPU driver are exposed when they process a VBIOS GPIO I2C table with corrupt size fields. The issue concerns parsing of that firmware-provided table.

2

What would an attacker need to exploit it?

The vulnerable code is reached through a malformed or corrupt GPIO I2C table in the GPU VBIOS. The provided information does not establish how an attacker could cause a system to use such a VBIOS.

3

How can I tell whether a system has the fix?

A fixed kernel rejects undersized GPIO I2C tables and limits the derived entry count to AMDGPU_MAX_I2C_BUS. The listed stable kernel references identify commits containing the correction.
