CVE-2026-68106: drm/amdgpu: fix division by zero with invalid uvd dimensions

Published Aug 10, 2026
·
Updated

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/amdgpu: fix division by zero with invalid uvd dimensions

When width or height is less than 16, widthinmb or heightinmb becomes 0, leading to fsinmb being 0. This causes a division by zero when calculating numdpbbuffer in H264 and H264 Perf decode paths.

Add validation to reject frames with width < 16 or height < 16 before performing any calculations that depend on these values.

V2: Format change - move up all vaiable definitions. V3: Use warnonce to avoid spam.

(cherry picked from commit 3e41d26c70b0a459d041cc19482a226c4b7423cb)

Remediation

Recommended actions to resolve this vulnerability, in priority order.

  1. Compensating control

    Apply the kernel-side fix described in the material for drm/amdgpu: fix division by zero with invalid uvd dimensions by adding validation to reject UVD frames with width < 16 or height < 16 (so width_in_mb/height_in_mb do not become 0 before dependent calculations such as fs_in_mb and num_dpb_buffer for H264/H264 Perf decode).
