Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2024-57919)
Summary
Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2024-57919). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Mitigation: upgrade to 6.12.10 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: fix divide error in DM plane scale calcs
dm_get_plane_scale doesn't take into account plane scaled size equal to
zero, leading to a kernel oops due to division by zero. Fix by setting
out-scale size as zero when the dst size is zero, similar to what is
done by drm_calc_scale(). This issue started with the introduction of
cursor ovelay mode that uses this function to assess cursor mode changes
via dm_crtc_get_cursor_mode() before checking plane state.
