Doc Text:	A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Generic USB Display (GUD) driver. This vulnerability can lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) if an attacker connects a malicious USB display device to the system. The driver fails to verify that the default display rotation capability is present in the device's reported configuration before registering display properties. This omission triggers an internal kernel warning assertion, which can lead to a system crash on systems configured to halt on kernel warnings.	Story Points:	---

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-25 11:38:07 UTC

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

drm/gud: validate GUD_ROTATION_0 is present in supported rotations

The rotation argument to drm_plane_create_rotation_property() is set to
DRM_MODE_ROTATE_0, and the device reported rotation bitmask is used as
the supported_rotations argument. The driver never validates that
GUD_ROTATION_0 is present, so a device that omits it from its
GUD_PROPERTY_ROTATION triggers the
WARN_ON(rotation & ~supported_rotations) in
drm_plane_create_rotation_property()

Fix this by skipping the creation of rotation property if the device
doesn't have the GUD_ROTATION_0 bit
