Detailed vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to improper resource management in dcn32_enable_phantom_plane() when allocating phantom plane state during bandwidth validation. A local user can trigger allocation of a large dc_plane_state object to cause a denial of service.
The issue can lead to a kernel crash when memory allocation reaches the vmalloc path in a preemption-restricted context.
