Technical description

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

drm/edid: fix OOB read in drm_parse_tiled_block()

drm_parse_tiled_block() casts the DisplayID block to a

struct displayid_tiled_block and reads the full fixed layout up to

tile->topology_id[7] without checking block->num_bytes. The DisplayID

iterator only validates the declared payload length, so a crafted EDID

can advertise a tiled-display block (tag DATA_BLOCK_TILED_DISPLAY, or

DATA_BLOCK_2_TILED_DISPLAY_TOPOLOGY for v2.0) with a small num_bytes at

the end of a DisplayID extension. The read then runs past the end of the

exact-sized kmemdup()'d EDID allocation, a heap out-of-bounds read.

Reject blocks shorter than the spec's 22-byte tiled payload before

reading the fixed struct, as drm_parse_vesa_mso_data() already does.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-64546?

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