CVE-2023-53806: Linux kernel crash when setting 8K display resolution
CVE-2023-53806 · published 11 months ago
Summary
The Linux kernel driver for AMD graphics can cause the system to restart when changing the screen resolution to 8K in extended mode. The problem occurs because the driver incorrectly handles data for multiple display pipelines, leading to a memory error. Updating to the latest kernel version resolves the issue.
What to do
- Update linux kernel to version 6.3.4.
- Update canonical linux to version 5.15.0-190.200.aikido.114.

CVE-2023-53806 in linux - Patched by Root
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: populate subvp cmd info only for the top pipe [Why] System restart observed while changing the display resolution to 8k with extended mode. Sytem restart was caused by a page fault. [How] When the driver populates subvp info it did it for both the pipes using vblank which caused an outof bounds array access causing the page fault. added checks to allow the top pipe only to fix this issue.
