The overrun occurs in the amdgpu display-manager probe path (`dm_hw_init` → `amdgpu_dm_init` → `amdgpu_dm_initialize_drm_device`), reachable only on the local system via driver bind/module load on affected hardware, with no network or remote-peer input involved.\nAC:L - On an affected configuration (USB4 DPIA-capable DCN31/314/35 part whose connector count plus DPIA and virtual links exceeds MAX_LINKS=12) the out-of-bounds indexing happens deterministically every probe — there is no race and no memory-layout lottery to win.\nPR:L - Consistent with sibling amdgpu display OOB scoring, a low-privileged local user is credited with reaching the driver initialization path; no root-only capability check gates the vulnerable loop itself.\nUI:N - The faulty loop executes automatically during GPU driver initialization with no victim action required — no file must be opened, no display attached, no configuration performed.\nS:U - The out-of-bounds access and its consequences are confined to kernel memory within the same security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - Indices 12–31 read past `dc->links[MAX_LINKS]` into adjacent `struct dc` members (`link_srv`, `current_state`, `res_pool`, `clk_mgr`), disclosing kernel pointers, and the resulting type-confused `dc_link *` is dereferenced for further wide reads (`link->dpcd_caps`, `link->type`).\nI:H - The out-of-bounds `link` pointer is written through — `link->psr_settings.psr_feature_enabled/psr_version` and the writes inside `dc_link_detect()`/`amdgpu_dm_set_psr_caps()` — so unrelated kernel objects are corrupted at attacker-unintended offsets, a classic type-confusion write primitive.\nA:H - Dereferencing garbage taken from beyond the array as a `struct dc_link *` reliably faults or corrupts core display-manager state during initialization, producing a kernel oops/panic at boot."}]}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/amdgpu_dm/amdgpu_dm.c"],"versions":[{"version":"4562236b3bc0a28aeb6ee93b2d8a849a4c4e1c7c","lessThan":"e2411b6abf6e5d6c33d0450846673cdf536f0ba4","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"4562236b3bc0a28aeb6ee93b2d8a849a4c4e1c7c","lessThan":"e3cd0d8362de47f613bfdf315b3f3a9ab71e66bf","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"4562236b3bc0a28aeb6ee93b2d8a849a4c4e1c7c","lessThan":"13080d052c995aee14695a5b740c245121eb2bcc","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"4562236b3bc0a28aeb6ee93b2d8a849a4c4e1c7c","lessThan":"c84632096722fd31251f0957fafc9e90d9a247fd","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"4562236b3bc0a28aeb6ee93b2d8a849a4c4e1c7c","lessThan":"36c39a8dcce210649f2f45f252abaa09fcc1ae87","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"4562236b3bc0a28aeb6ee93b2d8a849a4c4e1c7c","lessThan":"cf8b16857db702ceb8d52f9219a4613363e2b1cf","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/amdgpu_dm/amdgpu_dm.c"],"versions":[{"version":"4.15","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"4.15","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.10.237","lessThanOrEqual":"5.10.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.15.181","lessThanOrEqual":"5.15.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.1.135","lessThanOrEqual":"6.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.88","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.10.9","lessThanOrEqual":"6.10.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.11","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.15","versionEndExcluding":"5.10.237"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.15","versionEndExcluding":"5.15.181"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.15","versionEndExcluding":"6.1.135"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.15","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.88"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.15","versionEndExcluding":"6.10.9"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.15","versionEndExcluding":"6.11"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e2411b6abf6e5d6c33d0450846673cdf536f0ba4"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e3cd0d8362de47f613bfdf315b3f3a9ab71e66bf"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/13080d052c995aee14695a5b740c245121eb2bcc"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c84632096722fd31251f0957fafc9e90d9a247fd"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/36c39a8dcce210649f2f45f252abaa09fcc1ae87"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/cf8b16857db702ceb8d52f9219a4613363e2b1cf"}],"title":"drm/amd/display: Stop amdgpu_dm initialize when link nums greater than max_links","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}},"adp":[{"metrics":[{"other":{"type":"ssvc","content":{"timestamp":"2024-09-29T14:17:56.570304Z","id":"CVE-2024-46816","options":[{"Exploitation":"none"},{"Automatable":"no"},{"Technical Impact":"partial"}],"role":"CISA Coordinator","version":"2.0.3"}}}],"title":"CISA ADP Vulnrichment","providerMetadata":{"orgId":"134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0","shortName":"CISA-ADP","dateUpdated":"2024-09-29T14:18:08.645Z"}},{"title":"CVE Program Container","references":[{"url":"https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2025/05/msg00045.html"},{"url":"https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2025/05/msg00030.html"}],"providerMetadata":{"orgId":"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108","shortName":"CVE","dateUpdated":"2025-11-03T19:31:12.490Z"}}]}}
