| Vector | AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H |
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.Exploit
