[PATCH] drm/amdgpu/atom: bound the VBIOS date, part number, version and build getters

From: Hari Mishal

Date: Tue Sep 15 2026 - 10:54:03 EST


atom_get_vbios_date(), atom_get_vbios_pn(), atom_get_vbios_version()
and atom_get_vbios_build() all walk the BIOS image using offsets and
counts taken from the image itself, checked only against each other
and never against ctx->bios_size:

- atom_get_vbios_date() reads 14 bytes at a fixed offset that
check_atom_bios()'s minimum size (0x49) does not cover.
- atom_get_vbios_pn() dereferences an image-supplied u16 string
offset unchecked, then walks and copies from it with only a length
cap, not an image cap.
- atom_get_vbios_version() takes its search bounds from image u16s;
atom_find_str_in_rom() already clamps the search itself, but the
match is then advanced by a fixed 18 bytes and STRLEN_NORMAL bytes
are copied from there with no check that this still lands inside
the image.
- atom_get_vbios_build() walks from an image-supplied config-string
offset toward the ROM header; a config offset at or past the
header makes the pointer difference negative, wrapping through the
u16 'len' and passing strscpy() a bound far larger than the
32-byte destination.

Bound each getter's reads, walks and copies to ctx->bios_size, falling
back to an empty string on a malformed image.
