Ashutosh Desai d4e05dedb2 drm/dp/mst: fix buffer overflows in sideband chunk accumulation 
[ Upstream commit 55bd5e685b ]

drm_dp_sideband_append_payload() has three related bugs when processing
device-provided sideband reply data:

1. Zero-length curchunk_len underflow: msg_len is a 6-bit field taken
   directly from the DP sideband header. If a device sends msg_len=0,
   curchunk_len is set to zero. The condition (curchunk_idx >= curchunk_len)
   is immediately true, and curchunk_len-1 wraps to 255 (u8 underflow).
   drm_dp_msg_data_crc4() reads 255 bytes from chunk[48], then memcpy()
   writes 255 bytes into msg[], both far out of bounds.

2. chunk[48] overflow: curchunk_len can reach 63 (6-bit field). chunk[] is
   only 48 bytes. Multi-iteration payload assembly appends 16-byte blocks
   until curchunk_idx reaches curchunk_len, writing up to 15 bytes past
   the end of chunk[] into msg[].

3. msg[256] overflow: each chunk contributes (curchunk_len-1) bytes to
   msg[]. No check ensures curlen + (curchunk_len-1) stays within msg[256],
   so the memcpy can spill into adjacent struct fields.

All three are reachable from any DP MST device that can forge sideband
reply messages on a physical connection.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
