Kernel crash via oversized DSI register dump
Published Jul 24, 2026 · Updated Jul 24, 2026
Out-of-bounds access in Linux Kernel 5.14 and affected later versions allows local users to crash MSM DSI 6G systems during state capture. The msm_dsi_host_snapshot path adds io_offset to the mapped I/O start address but passes the original ctrl_size to msm_disp_snapshot_add_block, extending the register dump beyond the mapping. Reachability requires DSI 6G hardware and local low-privileged access; the documented consequence is an availability-only kernel fault.
