Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Divide By Zero in the drm/i915/dsi process. An attacker can cause a division by zero and potentially crash the system by triggering the driver to load in command mode with specific display configurations.

Note: The Linux kernel project assigns a CVE to every bug fix it ships, whether or not the bug has been shown to be exploitable. This advisory was generated from that process and has not been individually assessed for exploitability. See the kernel's CVE process documentation: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/process/cve.rst
