In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/dp/mst: fix OOB reads on 2-byte fields in sideband reply parsers
Three sideband reply parsers read 16-bit fields as:
val = (raw->msg[idx] << 8) | (raw->msg[idx+1]);
and check bounds only after the fact. When idx == raw->curlen,
raw->msg[idx+1] reads one byte past the received message data 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
Fix by using a single combined check (idx + 2 > curlen) before each
2-byte read. Since the check is strictly tighter than idx > curlen,
no separate step is needed.

BOD 26-04 (CISA's remediation timeline, Table 1)14 days if the affected system is publicly exposed; Fix on system upgrade if it is not.
In CISA KEV no (CISA's KEV catalog) · Automatable no (CISA's BOD 26-04 default) · Technical impact total (CISA's BOD 26-04 default). Where an input reads “CISA's BOD 26-04 default”, no one has published it for this CVE, and CISA's implementation guidance says: “If “Automatable” and “Technical Impact” information items about a CVE ID are not available and the CVE ID is not in the KEV Catalog, CISA will treat its values as “no” and “total,” respectively, until CISA or a third party provides metadata about the CVE ID. CISA will always provide the Vulnrichment data for a CVE ID listed in the KEV Catalog.” Whether your system is publicly exposed is yours to answer. BOD 26-04 binds US Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies; for anyone else it is CISA's published timeline, a reference rather than an obligation. The directive · how EchelonGraph applies it
