CVE-2026-53137 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: Clamp HDMI HDCP2 rx_id_list read to buffer size [Why & How] During HDCP 2.x repeater authentication over HDMI, the driver reads the sink's RxStatus register and extracts a 10-bit message size field (max value 1023). This value is used as the read length for the ReceiverID list without being clamped to the size of the destination buffer rx_id_list[177]. A malicious HDMI repeater could advertise a message size larger than the buffer, causing an out-of-bounds write during the I2C read. Clamp the read length in mod_hdcp_read_rx_id_list() to the size of the rx_id_list buffer, matching the approach already used in the DP branch. (cherry picked from commit 229212219e4247d9486f8ba41ef087358490be09)
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's HDMI HDCP2 handling can lead to an out-of-bounds write. During HDCP 2.x repeater authentication, the driver reads a message size from the sink's RxStatus register, which can be up to 1023. This size is used to read the ReceiverID list without proper validation, allowing a malicious HDMI repeater to overwrite memory by advertising a larger message size. The issue has been fixed by clamping the read length to the actual buffer size.
Users can upgrade to the patched version of the Linux kernel where this vulnerability has been addressed. The specific commit containing the fix is available in the Linux kernel stable tree.
