What is CVE-2024-56784?

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel related to AMD display drivers was identified, where improper array index handling can lead to memory corruption. This issue arises due to out-of-bounds indices, which, if exploited, may allow attackers to manipulate memory contents. The resolution involves implementing array index checks to ensure indices remain within valid bounds, thus preventing potential corruption and enhancing overall system stability. This fix addresses a critical area in the graphics processing framework, underscoring the importance of rigorous code scrutiny in driver development.
