DescriptionNVD

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/display/dp_mst: Add protection against 0 vcpi

When releasing a timeslot there is a slight chance we may end up with the wrong payload mask due to overflow if the delayed_destroy_work ends up coming into play after a DP 2.1 monitor gets disconnected which causes vcpi to become 0 then we try to make the payload = ~BIT(vcpi - 1) which is a negative shift. VCPI id should never really be 0 hence skip changing the payload mask if VCPI is 0.

Otherwise it leads to <7> [515.287237] xe 0000:03:00.0: [drm:drm_dp_mst_get_port_malloc [drm_display_helper]] port ffff888126ce9000 (3) <4> [515.287267] -----------[ cut here ]----------- <3> [515.287268] UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in ../drivers/gpu/drm/display/drm_dp_mst_topology.c:4575:36 <3> [515.287271] shift exponent -1 is negative <4> [515.287275] CPU: 7 UID: 0 PID: 3108 Comm: kworker/u64:33 Tainted: G S U 6.17.0-rc6-lgci-xe-xe-3795-3e79699fa1b216e92+ #1 PREEMPT(voluntary) <4> [515.287279] Tainted: [S]=CPU_OUT_OF_SPEC, [U]=USER <4> [515.287279] Hardware name: ASUS System Product Name/PRIME Z790-P WIFI, BIOS 1645 03/15/2024 <4> [515.287281] Workqueue: drm_dp_mst_wq drm_dp_delayed_destroy_work [drm_display_helper] <4> [515.287303] Call Trace: <4> [515.287304] <TASK> <4> [515.287306] dump_stack_lvl+0xc1/0xf0 <4> [515.287313] dump_stack+0x10/0x20 <4> [515.287316] __ubsan_handle_shift_out_of_bounds+0x133/0x2e0 <4> [515.287324] ? drm_atomic_get_private_obj_state+0x186/0x1d0 <4> [515.287333] drm_dp_atomic_release_time_slots.cold+0x17/0x3d [drm_display_helper] <4> [515.287355] mst_connector_atomic_check+0x159/0x180 [xe] <4> [515.287546] drm_atomic_helper_check_modeset+0x4d9/0xfa0 <4> [515.287550] ? __ww_mutex_lock.constprop.0+0x6f/0x1a60 <4> [515.287562] intel_atomic_check+0x119/0x2b80 [xe] <4> [515.287740] ? find_held_lock+0x31/0x90 <4> [515.287747] ? lock_release+0xce/0x2a0 <4> [515.287754] drm_atomic_check_only+0x6a2/0xb40 <4> [515.287758] ? drm_atomic_add_affected_connectors+0x12b/0x140 <4> [515.287765] drm_atomic_commit+0x6e/0xf0 <4> [515.287766] ? _pfx__drm_printfn_info+0x10/0x10 <4> [515.287774] drm_client_modeset_commit_atomic+0x25c/0x2b0 <4> [515.287794] drm_client_modeset_commit_locked+0x60/0x1b0 <4> [515.287795] ? mutex_lock_nested+0x1b/0x30 <4> [515.287801] drm_client_modeset_commit+0x26/0x50 <4> [515.287804] __drm_fb_helper_restore_fbdev_mode_unlocked+0xdc/0x110 <4> [515.287810] drm_fb_helper_hotplug_event+0x120/0x140 <4> [515.287814] drm_fbdev_client_hotplug+0x28/0xd0 <4> [515.287819] drm_client_hotplug+0x6c/0xf0 <4> [515.287824] drm_client_dev_hotplug+0x9e/0xd0 <4> [515.287829] drm_kms_helper_hotplug_event+0x1a/0x30 <4> [515.287834] drm_dp_delayed_destroy_work+0x3df/0x410 [drm_display_helper] <4> [515.287861] process_one_work+0x22b/0x6f0 <4> [515.287874] worker_thread+0x1e8/0x3d0 <4> [515.287879] ? __pfx_worker_thread+0x10/0x10 <4> [515.287882] kthread+0x11c/0x250 <4> [515.287886] ? __pfx_kthread+0x10/0x10 <4> [515.287890] ret_from_fork+0x2d7/0x310 <4> [515.287894] ? __pfx_kthread+0x10/0x10 <4> [515.287897] ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30

AnalysisAI

The drm/display/dp_mst subsystem in the Linux kernel crashes with a UBSAN shift-out-of-bounds error when a DP 2.1 monitor disconnects while delayed_destroy_work is still in flight, producing a kernel denial-of-service on affected systems. Systems running unpatched kernel versions across the 6.1.x, 6.6.x, 6.12.x, 6.18.x, and 6.19.x stable branches with DisplayPort Multi-Stream Transport (MST) capable hardware are vulnerable. No public exploit or active exploitation has been identified; patches are available across all affected stable branches with specific fix commits traceable to git.kernel.org.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability resides in drivers/gpu/drm/display/drm_dp_mst_topology.c within the Linux kernel's DRM (Direct Rendering Manager) subsystem, specifically in the DisplayPort Multi-Stream Transport topology management code. CPE data confirms the affected product as cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel across multiple stable branches. The root cause is an integer underflow feeding an illegal bit-shift operation: when delayed_destroy_work executes asynchronously after a DP 2.1 monitor disconnects mid-operation, the vcpi (Virtual Channel Payload Identifier) field can reach zero. The expression ~BIT(vcpi - 1) then evaluates to ~BIT(-1), a negative shift exponent that is undefined behavior under the C standard and triggers the kernel's UBSAN (Undefined Behavior SANitizer) at line 4575 of drm_dp_mst_topology.c. Although tagged 'Buffer Overflow' in the intelligence data, this is more precisely an integer underflow (analogous to CWE-191) feeding an undefined shift, not a classical memory buffer overflow. The fix guards against vcpi == 0 before computing the payload mask.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to a patched stable kernel release: 6.1.165 or later, 6.6.128 or later, 6.12.75 or later, 6.18.16 or later, 6.19.4 or later, or kernel 7.0. The upstream fix commits are available at git.kernel.org/stable/c (342ccffd9f77, 3f44cdb5371f, 4d2ccdea18b5, 95dbd525efce, ac9a7c329a56, d6afc7539ce0) for out-of-tree backporting if needed. For systems that cannot be patched immediately, disabling or avoiding DP 2.1 MST multi-monitor configurations reduces exposure at the cost of losing MST display functionality. Systems without DP MST-capable GPUs or without DisplayPort displays connected in MST topology are not exposed and require no immediate action.
