OOB read is fixed-size (32 bytes) and heap-layout-dependent, justifying C:L; A:H retained for credible page-fault kernel crash.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/connector/hdmi: Fix out of bounds memory read
A helper function was copying a given audio infoframe into the connector's copy but using the size of the destination (a generic target, sized to accept many different data blocks) not the source (a very specific type of data block). Thus, it was copying 60 bytes of data from a 28 byte allocation.
Fix that by using the source size instead, together with a build bug on the source size actually being smaller than the destination.
I hit this running KUnit tests under KASAN (while debugging something else entirely). In the real world, it seems unlikely to cause an actual problem. It is a read not a write so it can't corrupt any memory. However, it could potentially fall off the end of a page and cause an accvio bug.
AnalysisAI
Out-of-bounds memory read in the Linux kernel's DRM HDMI connector subsystem allows a local, low-privileged user to potentially leak up to 32 bytes of adjacent kernel heap memory or trigger a page fault leading to kernel crash. The flaw exists in a helper function that copies audio infoframe data using the destination buffer size (60 bytes) rather than the source structure size (28 bytes), reading 32 bytes beyond the source allocation. …
