Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Calculation of Buffer Size in the drm/amd/display process due to incorrect calculation of the size of the fe_clk_en array. An attacker can cause a buffer over-read or buffer overflow by triggering operations that rely on the miscalculated array size.

Note: The Linux kernel project assigns a CVE to every bug fix it ships, whether or not the bug has been shown to be exploitable. This advisory was generated from that process and has not been individually assessed for exploitability. See the kernel's CVE process documentation: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/process/cve.rst
