CVE-2022-49365 is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel affecting the AMD GPU driver (drm/amdgpu). The issue was discovered in the dmdmuboutbox1lowirq() function where an off-by-one error in array bounds checking could lead to an out-of-bounds access. The vulnerability was resolved by correcting the comparison operator from '>' to '>=' when checking against ARRAY_SIZE() (Kernel Git).
The vulnerability exists in the AMD GPU driver's display management code. Specifically, the issue occurs in the dmdmuboutbox1lowirq() function where the condition 'notify.type > ARRAYSIZE(dm->dmubthreadoffload)' was incorrectly used instead of 'notify.type >= ARRAYSIZE(dm->dmubthreadoffload)'. This incorrect boundary check could potentially allow access beyond the array bounds (Kernel Git).
The vulnerability could potentially lead to an out-of-bounds memory access in the Linux kernel's AMD GPU driver. This could result in memory corruption or system instability when processing certain GPU operations (NVD).
The issue has been fixed in the Linux kernel through a patch that corrects the array bounds checking logic. The fix involves changing the comparison operator from '>' to '>=' in the dmdmuboutbox1lowirq() function. Systems should be updated to include this patch (Kernel Git).
