Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/connector/hdmi: Fix out of bounds memory read
A helper function was copying a given audio infoframe into the
connector's copy but using the size of the destination (a generic
target, sized to accept many different data blocks) not the source (a
very specific type of data block). Thus, it was copying 60 bytes of
data from a 28 byte allocation.
Fix that by using the source size instead, together with a build bug
on the source size actually being smaller than the destination.
I hit this running KUnit tests under KASAN (while debugging something
else entirely). In the real world, it seems unlikely to cause an
actual problem. It is a read not a write so it can't corrupt any
memory. However, it could potentially fall off the end of a page and
cause an accvio bug.
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-80749 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
