What it actually does

Division by zero in dm_get_plane_scale when a plane's destination scaled size is zero, triggered during cursor overlay mode checks in dm_crtc_get_cursor_mode before plane state validation, causing kernel oops in the AMD display driver.

Why it matters to the business

Systems with AMD GPUs may experience unexpected kernel crashes during display configuration changes involving cursors or scaled planes, leading to downtime and potential loss of graphical sessions on affected Linux distributions.

How an attack unfolds

An attacker with local access submits crafted atomic DRM ioctl requests that invoke dm_crtc_get_cursor_mode and reach dm_get_plane_scale with a zero dst size, triggering the divide error and kernel panic; no remote vector or named threat actors are associated.

How to fix it

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing commit c2eaa73bd542b0168a0519e4a1c6e94bc121ec3d or later; rebuild and reboot after applying the patch that guards against zero dst size in dm_get_plane_scale.

How to confirm the fix worked

Confirm the patch is present by checking kernel source for the zero-size guard in dm_get_plane_scale, then exercise cursor overlay paths in amdgpu_dm_atomic_check without triggering divide errors; verify via kernel log absence of divide_error oops from amdgpu.

Typical attack path

  1. Obtain local user access on a system with vulnerable AMD GPU driver
  2. Issue DRM atomic mode-setting ioctls that engage cursor overlay handling
  3. Supply plane parameters resulting in zero destination scaled size
  4. Trigger division in dm_get_plane_scale causing oops and system instability

How to detect it

Review kernel logs for divide error oops with RIP in dm_get_plane_scale or call traces through dm_crtc_get_cursor_mode and amdgpu_dm_atomic_check; look for recent DRM atomic ioctl activity preceding the crash.

  • dm_get_plane_scale+0x3f/0x60 [amdgpu]
  • divide error: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI
  • RIP: 0010:dm_get_plane_scale

What your security team should do

  • Prioritize kernel updates on all AMD GPU systems before enabling advanced display features
  • Monitor for kernel oops reports referencing dm_get_plane_scale or amdgpu_dm_atomic_check
  • Test display configuration changes in staging environments after patching

The record

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: fix divide error in DM plane scale calcs dm_get_plane_scale doesn't take into account plane scaled size equal to zero, leading to a kernel oops due to division by zero. Fix by setting out-scale size as zero when the dst size is zero, similar to what is done by drm_calc_scale(). This issue started with the introduction of cursor ovelay mode that uses this function to assess cursor mode changes via dm_crtc_get_cursor_mode() before checking plane state.
