What to do
AI-suggested
A fix has been implemented in the Linux kernel to check timing_generator_count before using tg_inst as an array index, preventing negative indexing and overruns. Users should update to the patched Linux kernel version containing this fix. No additional mitigation steps are indicated.
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: Ensure array index tg_inst won't be -1 [WHY & HOW] tg_inst will be a negative if timing_generator_count equals 0, which should be checked before used. This fixes 2 OVERRUN issues reported by Coverity.
