How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.7 kernel-default-livepatch to version 6.4.0-150700.53.81.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-default-livepatch package and not the kernel-default-livepatch package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.7 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

drm/i915/hdcp: check streams[] bounds before overflow

The data->streams[] overflow check is done after the buffer overflow has already happened. Move the overflow check before the write.

Side note, emitting a warning splat with a backtrace might be overkill here, but prefer not changing the behaviour other than not doing the overrun.

Discovered using AI-assisted static analysis confirmed by Intel Product Security.

(cherry picked from commit 9284ab3b6e776c315883ac2611283d263c9460fd)
