CVE-2025-38312 Information

Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

fbdev: core: fbcvt: avoid division by 0 in fb_cvt_hperiod()

In fb_find_mode_cvt() iff mode->refresh somehow happens to be 0x80000000 cvt.f_refresh will become 0 when multiplying it by 2 due to overflow. It’s then passed to fb_cvt_hperiod() where it’s used as a divider – division by 0 will result in kernel oops. Add a sanity check for cvt.f_refresh to avoid such overflow…

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with the Svace static analysis tool.
