Overview

CVE-2024-57919 is a medium-severity vulnerability. It was published on January 19, 2025 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5 (MEDIUM).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5, rated MEDIUM. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

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

drm/amd/display: fix divide error in DM plane scale calcs

dm_get_plane_scale doesn't take into account plane scaled size equal to

zero, leading to a kernel oops due to division by zero. Fix by setting

out-scale size as zero when the dst size is zero, similar to what is

done by drm_calc_scale(). This issue started with the introduction of

cursor ovelay mode that uses this function to assess cursor mode changes

via dm_crtc_get_cursor_mode() before checking plane state.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2024-57919?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine.
