AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H
Supplying a malformed VBIOS requires privileged control over the firmware image (PR:H); vector is local, the OOB read is small (C:L), and the primary impact is a probe-time hang (A:H).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Bound VBIOS record-chain walk loops
[Why & How] All record-chain walk loops in bios_parser.c and bios_parser2.c use for(;;) and only terminate on a 0xFF record_type sentinel or zero record_size. A malformed VBIOS image missing the terminator record causes unbounded iteration at probe time, potentially hundreds of thousands of iterations with record_size=1. In the final iterations near the BIOS image boundary, struct casts beyond the 2-byte header validated by GET_IMAGE can also read out of bounds.
Cap all 14 record-chain walk loops to BIOS_MAX_NUM_RECORD (256) iterations. The atombios.h defines up to 22 distinct record types and atomfirmware.h has 13. Assuming an average of less than 10 records per type (which is reasonable since most are connector- based) 256 is a generous upper bound.
(cherry picked from commit 95700a3d660287ed657d6892f7be9ffc0e294a93)
AnalysisAI
Out-of-bounds read and unbounded-iteration denial of service in the Linux kernel's AMD Display (amdgpu DC) driver arises when the bios_parser/bios_parser2 code walks VBIOS record chains that lack a proper 0xFF terminator record. A local attacker able to supply a malformed VBIOS image can force hundreds of thousands of probe-time iterations (with record_size=1) and, near the image boundary, trigger struct casts that read past the 2-byte header validated by GET_IMAGE. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the amdgpu AMD Display Core driver to probe a maliciously crafted VBIOS/atombios image whose record chain is missing the 0xFF terminator record (or presents record_size=1 without termination); this is a firmware-parsing bug reachable at device/driver probe time, not over any network. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The provided CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H, score 7.1) frames this as a local, low-privilege issue with high confidentiality and availability impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | A local administrator or an attacker with control of the GPU firmware/ROM (for example via a malicious passthrough device or a crafted VBIOS-override file) presents a VBIOS image whose record chain omits the terminating 0xFF record. When the amdgpu driver probes the device, the parser loops uncontrollably and casts bytes past the validated header, hanging the boot/probe and reading a small amount of adjacent kernel memory. … |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: upgrade to a fixed stable kernel - 7.1, 7.0.13, 6.18.36, or 6.12.94 (or later within each series), which cap all 14 record-chain walk loops at BIOS_MAX_NUM_RECORD (256) iterations. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
