CVE-2026-46209 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/gem: Fix inconsistent plane dimension calculation in drm_gem_fb_init_with_funcs() drm_gem_fb_init_with_funcs() computes sub-sampled plane dimensions using plain integer division: unsigned int width = mode_cmd->width / (i ? info->hsub : 1); unsigned int height = mode_cmd->height / (i ? info->vsub : 1); However, the ioctl-level framebuffer_check() in drm_framebuffer.c uses drm_format_info_plane_width/height() which round up dimensions via DIV_ROUND_UP(). This inconsistency corrupts the subsequent GEM object size check for certain pixel format and dimension combinations. For example, with NV12 (vsub=2) and a 1-pixel-tall framebuffer the GEM size validation path sees height=0 instead of height=1. The expression (height - 1) then wraps to UINT_MAX as an unsigned int, causing min_size to overflow and wrap back to a small value. A tiny GEM object therefore passes the size guard, yet when the GPU accesses the chroma plane it will read or write memory beyond the object's bounds. Fix by replacing the open-coded divisions with drm_format_info_plane_width() and drm_format_info_plane_height(), which use DIV_ROUND_UP() and match the calculation already used in framebuffer_check().
A vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel's Graphics Execution Manager (GEM) framebuffer handling. The issue arises in the 'drm_gem_fb_init_with_funcs()' function, which calculates sub-sampled plane dimensions using standard integer division. This method can lead to incorrect dimension values, particularly with certain pixel formats like NV12. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that the 'framebuffer_check()' function uses a different method that rounds up dimensions, creating a mismatch. As a result, the GEM object size validation can be bypassed, allowing the GPU to access memory beyond the bounds of the object, potentially leading to memory corruption.
The vulnerability has been addressed by modifying the 'drm_gem_fb_init_with_funcs()' function to use 'drm_format_info_plane_width()' and 'drm_format_info_plane_height()' for dimension calculations. This change ensures that the dimensions are rounded up correctly and match the values used in the 'framebuffer_check()' function, preventing the size validation bypass. Users should upgrade to the latest stable version of the Linux kernel where this fix has been applied.
