What it is

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

fbdev: savage: Error out if pixclock equals zero

The userspace program could pass any values to the driver through

ioctl() interface. If the driver doesn't check the value of pixclock,

it may cause divide-by-zero error.

Although pixclock is checked in savagefb_decode_var(), but it is not

checked properly in savagefb_probe(). Fix this by checking whether

pixclock is zero in the function savagefb_check_var() before

info->var.pixclock is used as the divisor.

This is similar to CVE-2022-3061 in i740fb which was fixed by

commit 15cf0b8.
