  - drm/amd/display: Bound VBIOS record-chain walk loops [Why & How] All record-chain walk loops in     bios_parser.c and bios_parser2.c use for(;;) and only terminate on a 0xFF record_type sentinel or zero     record_size. A malformed VBIOS image missing the terminator record causes unbounded iteration at probe     time, potentially hundreds of thousands of iterations with record_size=1. In the final iterations near the     BIOS image boundary, struct casts beyond the 2-byte header validated by GET_IMAGE can also read out of     bounds. Cap all 14 record-chain walk loops to BIOS_MAX_NUM_RECORD (256) iterations. The atombios.h defines     up to 22 distinct record types and atomfirmware.h has 13. Assuming an average of less than 10 records per     type (which is reasonable since most are connector- based) 256 is a generous upper bound.
