drm/gud: fix out-of-bounds write in gud_plane_atomic_check()

Published Oct 6, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 7.0 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/gud: fix out-of-bounds write in gud_plane_atomic_check()

The plane property loop uses req->properties[num_properties + i] as write
index while simultaneously incrementing `num_properties` inside the loop.
At iteration i, num_properties has also incremented by i, so the write
is done at `initial_num_properties + 2*i`, skipping every other index and
advancing by 2 per iteration.

With just 2 connector and 32 plane properties the last write happens at
index 64, one slot past the end of the 64-slot (indices 0–63)
allocation. A USB device can trigger OOB by advertising the maximum
number of properties.

Fix by dropping the redundant `+ i`; num_properties is already the correct
running index, as gud_connector_fill_properties() fills the preceding
slots.
