CVE-2024-40916 Affecting kernel-uek-devel package, versions <0:5.4.17-2136.334.6.el7uek

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-uek-devel package and not the kernel-uek-devel package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

drm/exynos: hdmi: report safe 640x480 mode as a fallback when no EDID found

When reading EDID fails and driver reports no modes available, the DRM core adds an artificial 1024x786 mode to the connector. Unfortunately some variants of the Exynos HDMI (like the one in Exynos4 SoCs) are not able to drive such mode, so report a safe 640x480 mode instead of nothing in case of the EDID reading failure.

This fixes the following issue observed on Trats2 board since commit 13d5b040363c ("drm/exynos: do not return negative values from .get_modes()"):
