Remediation

Recommended actions to resolve this vulnerability, in priority order.

  1. Upgrade

    Upgrade to a fixed release to a version that resolves this vulnerability.

    Fixed in 6.6.141.1-1
  2. Upgrade

    Upgrade Linux kernel drm/gem to a version that resolves this vulnerability.

    Patch drm/gem: Fix inconsistent plane dimension calculation in drm_gem_fb_init_with_funcs()
  3. Configuration

    Update drm/gem plane dimension calculation in drm_gem_fb_init_with_funcs() to replace open-coded divisions with drm_format_info_plane_width() and drm_format_info_plane_height(), matching framebuffer_check() so height/width rounding stays consistent and min_size overflow is prevented.

    drm_gem_fb_init_with_funcs() / drm_format_info_plane_width() / drm_format_info_plane_height() plane dimension calculation method = Use drm_format_info_plane_width() and drm_format_info_plane_height() instead of open-coded DIV_ROUND_UP()/plain integer division
