Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2025-71305)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2025-71305). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/display/dp_mst: Add protection against 0 vcpi
When releasing a timeslot there is a slight chance we may end up
with the wrong payload mask due to overflow if the delayed_destroy_work
ends up coming into play after a DP 2.1 monitor gets disconnected
which causes vcpi to become 0 then we try to make the payload =
~BIT(vcpi - 1) which is a negative shift. VCPI id should never
really be 0 hence skip changing the payload mask if VCPI is 0.
Otherwise it leads to
