Linux Kernel up to 7.2.4 drm/amd/display __is_lut_linear divide by zero

CVSS Meta Temp Score CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.	Current Exploit Price (≈) Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.	CTI Interest Score Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Upgrading the affected component is recommended.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in Linux Kernel up to 7.2.4. This issue affects the function __is_lut_linear of the file drm/amd/display. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a divide by zero vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-369. The product divides a value by zero. Impacted is availability. The summary by CVE is:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: avoid divide-by-zero in __is_lut_linear() __is_lut_linear() computes the expected value of each entry with expected = i * MAX_DRM_LUT_VALUE / (size - 1); If it is ever called with a single-entry LUT, size - 1 is zero and the kernel takes a divide error (#DE). A LUT with fewer than two entries cannot describe a linear mapping anyway, so return false early instead of dividing by zero.

The advisory is shared at git.kernel.org. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2026-89821 since 09/11/2026. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack may be initiated remotely. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available. The price for an exploit might be around USD $0-$5k at the moment (estimation calculated on 09/16/2026). MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1499 for this issue.

Upgrading to version 5.10.270, 5.15.221, 6.1.188, 6.6.157, 6.12.110, 6.18.51, 7.2.5 or 7.3-rc1 eliminates this vulnerability. Applying the patch 2320626425f3af3a25b8afb6876f205b1c6d4e64/d1e06d5dc8f12451ce71dc068342660a34476084/c127ace7af2b40107947a6504391f94d6fd21734/4d5ee095a58461b2446d7a6eb0c14c2fe3eaab44/5f18cd1ba873e751bf5547407ad44ea34adfbe2f/ee28fafb50f58b847509b5240b431ddec673bdfe/15ee43aad0df43dfd1dbb32e7d5b951745c4b87f/4f40873f8a4107df2b9c8e68c947c4fd0cd519d2 is able to eliminate this problem. The best possible mitigation is suggested to be upgrading to the latest version.
