Amd · Amdgpu · CVE-2024-36969
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel versions prior to 6.6.37
**Description**
The issue is related to a division by zero error in the `setup dsc config` function when `slice height` is 0. This causes a driver crash, leaving the kernel in a state that requires a reboot. The vulnerability is exploited when the `amdgpu` driver is used with a monitor connected via Thunderbolt, and the system is rebooted. The `dc dsc compute config` function is also involved in the crash.
**Recommendations**
To resolve the issue, update the Linux kernel to version 6.6.37 or later.
As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the `amdgpu` driver or avoiding the use of monitors connected via Thunderbolt until the patch is applied.
