Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2024-36914
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel versions prior to 6.6.37
**Description**
A dynamic memory safety error detector (KASAN) catches and generates error messages "BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds" as the writeback connector does not support certain features which are not initialized. The issue occurs in the drm/amd/display component when it attempts to write back data. To resolve this, the connector type is checked, and if it is DRM MODE CONNECTOR WRITEBACK, the operation is skipped.
**Recommendations**
Update to Linux kernel version 6.6.37 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the writeback feature for the drm/amd/display component until a patch is available.
