Improper Validation of Array Index Affecting torvalds/linux package, versions [4.15,6.1.191)[6.2,6.6.158)[6.7,6.10.9)
Threat Intelligence
The probability is the direct output of the EPSS model, and conveys an overall sense of the threat of exploitation in the wild. The percentile measures the EPSS probability relative to all known EPSS scores. Note: This data is updated daily, relying on the latest available EPSS model version. Check out the EPSS documentation for more details.

CVE-2024-46730 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade torvalds/linux to version 6.1.191, 6.6.158, 6.10.9 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Validation of Array Index through improper validation of the tg_inst array index in the AMD GPU display driver. An attacker can achieve kernel memory disclosure, memory corruption, and potential control-flow hijacking by issuing crafted DRM modeset ioctls that trigger out-of-bounds access in the display pipeline. This is only exploitable if a local unprivileged user holds a DRM file descriptor with master privileges, such as in a logged-in graphical session.
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
