Technical description

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

drm/amd/display: Fix index out of bounds in DCN30 degamma hardware format translation

This commit addresses a potential index out of bounds issue in the

`cm3_helper_translate_curve_to_degamma_hw_format` function in the DCN30

color management module. The issue could occur when the index 'i'

exceeds the number of transfer function points (TRANSFER_FUNC_POINTS).

The fix adds a check to ensure 'i' is within bounds before accessing the

transfer function points. If 'i' is out of bounds, the function returns

false to indicate an error.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2024-49895?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine.
