Summary

In the Linux kernel sysfb subsystem, a possible truncation was found when calculating the visible size of the system framebuffer. Using 32-bit arithmetic can overflow if height and stride values are large.

Risk Assessment

This could lead to incorrect display behavior or potentially a system crash.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a patched version and test on systems with high resolutions.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/sysfb: Avoid possible truncation with calculating visible size Calculating the visible size of the system framebuffer can result in truncation of the result. The calculation uses 32-bit arithmetics, which can overflow if the values for height and stride are large. Fix the issue by multiplying with mul_u32_u32().
