CVE-2026-80740 (GCVE-0-2026-80740)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-09-03 08:26 – Updated: 2026-09-03 08:26

Title

drm/log: Fix infinite loop when scale is too large for display

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/log: Fix infinite loop when scale is too large for display When scale is large enough that scaled_font exceeds the display dimensions, rows or columns become 0. A columns value of 0 causes an infinite loop in drm_log_draw_kmsg_record() because the loop never decrements len. Check for zero rows/columns in drm_log_setup_modeset() and return an error, cleaning up the already allocated buffer to avoid a leak.

GHSA-PW7C-6M3H-4WVR

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-09-03 15:32 – Updated: 2026-09-03 15:32

Details

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

drm/log: Fix infinite loop when scale is too large for display

When scale is large enough that scaled_font exceeds the display dimensions, rows or columns become 0. A columns value of 0 causes an infinite loop in drm_log_draw_kmsg_record() because the loop never decrements len.

Check for zero rows/columns in drm_log_setup_modeset() and return an error, cleaning up the already allocated buffer to avoid a leak.
