In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: Avoid divide by zero by initializing dummy pitch to 1 [Why] If the dummy values in `populate_dummy_dml_surface_cfg()` aren't updated then they can lead to a divide by zero in downstream callers like CalculateVMAndRowBytes() [How] Initialize dummy value to a value to avoid divide by zero.

What this means for your business

  • It affects Linux Kernel. It matters if your company, or a supplier that handles your data, runs it.
  • An attacker can use it only with access to the machine itself, with an ordinary user login, and without anyone at your company clicking anything.

What to do

  1. 1Check whether your company or your suppliers run Linux Kernel, and which version. The affected versions are listed further down this page.
  2. 2If you do, apply the vendor's fix. A patch or vendor advisory has been published.
