CVE-2026-68254: drm/i915/vrr: require valid min/max vfreq for VRR

Published Aug 10, 2026
·
Updated

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

drm/i915/vrr: require valid min/max vfreq for VRR

Ensure the EDID provided min/max vfreq are valid. Most scenarios are already covered (by coincidence) through the checks in intelvrriscapable() and intelvrrisinrange(), but be more explicit about it. At worst, a zero minvfreq could lead to a division by zero in intelvrrcomputevmax().

Discovered using AI-assisted static analysis confirmed by Intel Product Security.

(cherry picked from commit 1765cf59f517b02f3b0591fe5120930d08bddeb6)
