Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-89819)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-89819). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: validate plane degamma LUT size for private color prop
Unlike the CRTC degamma path, which is guarded by
amdgpu_dm_verify_lut_sizes(), the per-plane degamma LUT size was never
validated before use. __set_dm_plane_degamma() passed the user-supplied
size straight into __is_lut_linear() and, for a non-linear LUT, into
__set_input_tf() -> __drm_lut_to_dc_gamma(), the latter always iterating
MAX_COLOR_LUT_ENTRIES entries regardless of the actual LUT size.
A malformed AMD_PLANE_DEGAMMA_LUT blob (e.g. a single entry) could thus
trigger a divide-by-zero in __is_lut_linear() or an out-of-bounds read in
__drm_lut_to_dc_gamma(). Reject any plane degamma LUT whose size does not
match MAX_COLOR_LUT_ENTRIES, mirroring the invariant the code already
asserts a few lines below (and which the CRTC path enforces).
The AMD_PLANE_DEGAMMA_LUT property is only exposed on builds with
AMD_PRIVATE_COLOR defined.
