Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

video: fbdev: arkfb: Fix a divide-by-zero bug in ark_set_pixclock()

Since the user can control the arguments of the ioctl() from the user space under special arguments that may result in a divide-by-zero bug in: drivers/video/fbdev/arkfb.c:784: ark_set_pixclock(info (hdiv info->var.pixclock) / hmul); with hdiv=1 pixclock=1 and hmul=2 you end up with (11)/2 = (int) 0. and then in: drivers/video/fbdev/arkfb.c:504: rv = dac_set_freq(par->dac 0 1000000000 / pixclock); we’ll get a division-by-zero.

The following log can reveal it:

divide error: 0000 [1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN PTI RIP: 0010:ark_set_pixclock drivers/video/fbdev/arkfb.c:504 [inline] RIP: 0010:arkfb_set_par+0x10fc/0x24c0 drivers/video/fbdev/arkfb.c:784 Call Trace: fb_set_var+0x604/0xeb0 drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbmem.c:1034 do_fb_ioctl+0x234/0x670 drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbmem.c:1110 fb_ioctl+0xdd/0x130 drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbmem.c:1189

Fix this by checking the argument of ark_set_pixclock() first.
