Subject: [PATCH] fbdev: pm3fb: Fix potential divide by zero
Date: Sat, 7 Jun 2025 15:49:59 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250607194959.2457473-1-alexguo1023@gmail.com> (raw)
variable var->pixclock can be set by user. In case it equals to
zero, divide by zero would occur in pm3fb_check_var. Similar
crashes have happened in other fbdev drivers. There is no check
and modification on var->pixclock along the call chain to
pm3fb_check_var. So we fix this by checking whether 'pixclock'
is zero.
Similar commit: commit 16844e58704 ("video: fbdev: tridentfb:
Error out if 'pixclock' equals zero")
