## What is CVE-2024-53108?

CVE-2024-53108 is a high-severity memory corruption vulnerability in Linux kernel, published on 2 Dec 2024. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/amd/display: Adjust VSDB parser for replay feature

At some point, the IEEE ID identification for the replay check in the
AMD EDID was added. However, this check causes the following
out-of-bounds issues when using KASAN:

[   27.804016] BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in amdgpu_dm_update_freesync_caps+0xefa/0x17a0 [amdgpu]

[   27.821268] ==================================================================

This is caused because the ID extraction happens outside of the range of
the edid lenght. This commit addresses this issue by considering the
amd_vsdb_block size.

## Fix prompt for AI coding agents

```text
Check this codebase for CVE-2024-53108 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2024-53108 is a high-severity memory corruption vulnerability in Linux kernel, published on 2 Dec 2024. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-53108 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
