CVE-2025-38312

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fbdev: core: fbcvt: avoid division by 0 in fb_cvt_hperiod() In fb_find_mode_cvt(), iff mode->refresh somehow happens to be 0x80000000, cvt.f_refresh will become 0 when multiplying it by 2 due to overflow. It's then passed to fb_cvt_hperiod(), where it's used as a divider -- division by 0 will result in kernel oops. Add a sanity check for cvt.f_refresh to avoid such overflow... Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with the Svace static analysis tool.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: fbdev: core: fbcvt: evitar la división por 0 en fb_cvt_hperiod(). En fb_find_mode_cvt(), si mode->refresh resulta ser 0x80000000, cvt.f_refresh se convertirá en 0 al multiplicarlo por 2 debido a un desbordamiento. Luego se pasa a fb_cvt_hperiod(), donde se usa como divisor; la división por 0 provocará un error en el kernel. Añada una comprobación de seguridad para cvt.f_refresh para evitar dicho desbordamiento. Encontrado por el Centro de Verificación de Linux (linuxtesting.org) con la herramienta de análisis estático Svace.
