CVE-2026-80740 PUBLISHED

drm/log: Fix infinite loop when scale is too large for display

Assigner: Linux
Reserved: 26.08.2026 Published: 03.09.2026 Updated: 03.09.2026

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

drm/log: Fix infinite loop when scale is too large for display

When scale is large enough that scaled_font exceeds the display dimensions, rows or columns become 0. A columns value of 0 causes an infinite loop in drm_log_draw_kmsg_record() because the loop never decrements len.

Check for zero rows/columns in drm_log_setup_modeset() and return an error, cleaning up the already allocated buffer to avoid a leak.
