Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's AMD GPU (amdgpu) driver. The driver fails to validate the size of Video BIOS (VBIOS) tables, allowing the calculated entry count to exceed the bounds of an internal array. A local attacker or compromised firmware image could exploit this flaw to trigger an out-of-bounds memory write, leading to memory corruption, system instability, or a Denial of Service (DoS).

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-24 16:58:15 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/amdgpu: Bound GPIO I2C table entry count from VBIOS

Reject undersized tables and cap the derived entry count
to AMDGPU_MAX_I2C_BUS so we do not overrun adev->i2c_bus[]
or walk an absurd number of entries on corrupt size fields.
