Nothing bounds the walk to the VBIOS image: usModePatchTableOffset is an unvalidated u16 (:1697-1705) and record strides are attacker-chosen, so the walk crosses the end of the rdev->bios kmallocd image and keeps reading heap. The fake-EDID branch (:1717-1737) kmallocs max(128,len) and memcpys len (<=255) bytes from record+2 \u2014 with the record placed at the image end this copies up to 255 bytes of ADJACENT KERNEL HEAP into bios_hardcoded_edid; if drm_edid_is_valid() passes (checksum 1/256 odds on uncontrolled bytes; guaranteed for the in-image part), those bytes become the connector EDID blob, readable from userspace (DRM_IOCTL_MODE_GETCONNECTOR).
