Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: fix a UBSAN warning in DML2.1 When programming phantom pipe, since cursor_width is explicity set to 0, this causes calculation logic to trigger overflow for an unsigned int triggering the kernel's UBSAN check as below: [ 40.962845] UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in /tmp/amd.EfpumTkO/amd/amdgpu/../display/dc/dml2/dml21/src/dml2_core/dml2_core_dcn4_calcs.c:3312:34 [ 40.962849] shift exponent 4294967170 is too large for 32-bit type 'unsigned int' [ 40.962852] CPU: 1 PID: 1670 Comm: gnome-shell Tainted: G W OE 6.5.0-41-generic #41~22.04.2-Ubuntu [ 40.962854] Hardware name: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
