Technical description

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

drm/display/dp_mst: Add protection against 0 vcpi

When releasing a timeslot there is a slight chance we may end up

with the wrong payload mask due to overflow if the delayed_destroy_work

ends up coming into play after a DP 2.1 monitor gets disconnected

which causes vcpi to become 0 then we try to make the payload =

~BIT(vcpi - 1) which is a negative shift. VCPI id should never

really be 0 hence skip changing the payload mask if VCPI is 0.

Otherwise it leads to

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2025-71305?

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