CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedA vulnerability in the Linux kernel's framebuffer handling can lead to truncation during the calculation of the visible size, potentially resulting in incorrect memory allocation. This issue arises from the use of 32-bit arithmetic, which may overflow with large height and stride values. Organizations using affected Linux systems should prioritize patching this vulnerability to mitigate potential stability and security risks.
Original NVD Description
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().
