In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/msm/a6xx: Allocate enough space for GMU registers

In commit 142639a52a01 (“drm/msm/a6xx: fix crashstate capture for
A650”) we changed a6xx_get_gmu_registers() to read 3 sets of
registers. Unfortunately, we didn’t change the memory allocation for
the array. That leads to a KASAN warning (this was on the chromeos-5.4
kernel, which has the problematic commit backported to it):
