[PATCH] drm/dp/mst: fix OOB reads on 2-byte fields in sideband reply parsers
From: Ashutosh Desai
Date: Fri Apr 10 2026 - 00:00:42 EST
Three sideband reply parsers read 16-bit fields as:
val = (raw->msg[idx] << 8) | (raw->msg[idx+1]);
and only check bounds after the fact (idx += 2, then
if (idx > raw->curlen)). When idx == raw->curlen at the
point of the read, raw->msg[idx+1] is one byte past the
received message data, reading into the following struct
fields (curchunk_len, curchunk_idx, curlen).
Affected functions:
- drm_dp_sideband_parse_enum_path_resources_ack()
full_payload_bw_number and avail_payload_bw_number fields
- drm_dp_sideband_parse_allocate_payload_ack()
allocated_pbn field
- drm_dp_sideband_parse_query_payload_ack()
allocated_pbn field
Move the bounds check to immediately before each 2-byte read,
using idx + 2 > raw->curlen, consistent with the fix pattern
used elsewhere in this file.
