Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
video: fbdev: i740fb: Check the argument of i740_calc_vclk()<br />
<br />
Since the user can control the arguments of the ioctl() from the user<br />
space, under special arguments that may result in a divide-by-zero bug.<br />
<br />
If the user provides an improper &#39;pixclock&#39; value that makes the argumet<br />
of i740_calc_vclk() less than &#39;I740_RFREQ_FIX&#39;, it will cause a<br />
divide-by-zero bug in:<br />
drivers/video/fbdev/i740fb.c:353 p_best = min(15, ilog2(I740_MAX_VCO_FREQ / (freq / I740_RFREQ_FIX)));<br />
<br />
The following log can reveal it:<br />
<br />
divide error: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN PTI<br />

<br />
Fix this by checking the argument of i740_calc_vclk() first.
