Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's `drm/sysfb` component. This flaw occurs when calculating the visible size of the system framebuffer. The calculation uses 32-bit arithmetic, which can overflow if the values for height and stride are excessively large. This overflow leads to truncation of the result, potentially causing incorrect size calculations that could result in system instability or a denial of service (DoS).

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-08-10 12:23:49 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/sysfb: Avoid possible truncation with calculating visible size

Calculating the visible size of the system framebuffer can result in
truncation of the result. The calculation uses 32-bit arithmetics,
which can overflow if the values for height and stride are large. Fix
the issue by multiplying with mul_u32_u32().
