CVE-2021-47348
CVSS v2.0
10
Critical
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
The issue is related to a function in the Linux kernel's amdgpu driver, specifically the
validate bksv() function in the hdcp1 execution.c module. This function is vulnerable to a buffer over-read, which could result in corrupted values if the trailing bytes are non-zero. The vulnerability can be exploited by a remote attacker to impact the confidentiality and availability of protected information. The vulnerability occurs because the code reads 8 bytes instead of the desired 5 bytes of the target field. To fix this, an appropriately sized and zero-initialized bounce buffer is used, and only 5 bytes are read before casting to u64.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
