CVE-2026-90245: fbdev: kyro: Validate overlay viewport coordinates

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

fbdev: kyro: Validate overlay viewport coordinates

The overlay viewport end coordinates are computed from the viewport origin and dimensions using 32-bit unsigned arithmetic. Large input values can cause these calculations to wrap around before the resulting coordinates are passed to SetOverlayViewPort().

SetOverlayViewPort() packs the viewport coordinates into 16-bit register fields. The X coordinates are additionally adjusted by +2 and +1 before being written. Validate the coordinate calculations for 32-bit wraparound and ensure that the adjusted coordinates fit within their 16-bit register fields before calling SetOverlayViewPort().

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

Description

Frequently Asked Questions

1

What input is required to trigger the issue?

The overlay viewport origin and dimension values must be large enough to cause 32-bit unsigned arithmetic to wrap when calculating the viewport end coordinates. The resulting X-coordinate adjustments must also exceed what can be represented in the 16-bit register fields.

2

What can be done before the fix is deployed?

Avoid supplying overlay viewport coordinates or dimensions that could overflow 32-bit coordinate calculations or produce adjusted X coordinates outside the 16-bit register range. Restrict access to interfaces that allow callers to control overlay viewport settings where possible.
