Description
CVE-2024-46814 is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel's AMD display driver subsystem where the message ID (msg_id) was not properly checked before processing transactions. Specifically, the invalid HDCP_MESSAGE_ID_INVALID (-1) was used without validation, leading to four buffer overrun issues. This flaw has been fixed in multiple Linux kernel versions starting from 5.15.0-1072.78~20.04.1 and later. The vulnerability has a high severity score and could lead to confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts if exploited.
