CVE-2026-68277

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

drm/dp/mst: fix OOB reads on 2-byte fields in sideband reply parsers

Three sideband reply parsers read 16-bit fields as:

  val = (raw->msg[idx] << 8) | (raw->msg[idx+1]);

and check bounds only after the fact. When idx == raw->curlen,
raw->msg[idx+1] reads one byte past the received message data into
the following struct fields (curchunk_len, curchunk_idx, curlen).

Affected functions:
 - drm_dp_sideband_parse_enum_path_resources_ack()
   full_payload_bw_number and avail_payload_bw_number fields
 - drm_dp_sideband_parse_allocate_payload_ack()
   allocated_pbn field
 - drm_dp_sideband_parse_query_payload_ack()
   allocated_pbn field

Fix by using a single combined check (idx + 2 > curlen) before each
2-byte read. Since the check is strictly tighter than idx > curlen,
no separate step is needed.
