Off-by-one out-of-bounds read in vega10_get_powerplay_table_entry state-array index check

Summary

vega10_processpptables.c:1308 entry_index <= state_arrays->ucNumEntries should be <. entry_index==ucNumEntries -> states[ucNumEntries] one ATOM_Vega10_State (12B) past last valid entry. Latent: sole caller pp_psm.c:75-76 iterates i<table_entries. Sibling of DF-1577. Fix: change <= to <.

DF-1588 VERDICT

Verdict: REPRODUCED (source-confirmed)

Impact: Low (driver-level NULL deref / OOB / leak / DoS β€” hardware-gated)

Mechanism: vega10_processpptables.c:1308 entry_index <= state_arrays->ucNumEntries should be <. entry_index==ucNumEntries -> states[ucNumEntries] one ATOM_Vega10_State (12B) past last valid entry. Latent: sole c

Citation: sys/dev/drm/amd/powerplay/hwmgr/vega10_processpptables.c:1308-1312

Fix: Applied fix.diff β€” compiles in batch kernel build (rc=0, -Werror).

Verification method: Source-only line-by-line trace of cited path:line. Low-severity driver bug; PoC trigger requires specific hardware or root context. Confirmed the cited vulnerable pattern exists in source.

Fix status (batch validation)

Applied with the 36 sibling fix.diffs of this batch in findings/poc/_batch41/all_fixes.patch; single in-guest make -j6 nativekernel KERNCONF=X86_64_GENERIC completed RC=0 with zero errors under -Werror (full log: findings/poc/_batch41/fix_build8.log). Behavior A/B intentionally skipped for this Info-tier item.
