CVE-2023-54150

System interruption via oversized firmware array index

Published Dec 24, 2025 · Updated Dec 24, 2025

Out-of-bounds access in the AMD display BIOS parser in affected Linux kernels allows local users to interrupt the system via firmware data. In get_gpio_i2c_info(), two assignments use header->gpio_pin[table_index] instead of the selected pin pointer, allowing firmware-reported indices beyond eight entries. Reachability requires AMD display hardware whose BIOS supplies an oversized GPIO I2C record; no direct data disclosure is reported.
