Linux Kernel up to 7.2.5 fbdev SetOverlayViewPort integer overflow

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.

The affected component should be upgraded.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel up to 7.2.5 and classified as critical. This issue affects the function SetOverlayViewPort of the component fbdev. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a integer overflow vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-190. The product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound, when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This can introduce other weaknesses when the calculation is used for resource management or execution control. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fbdev: kyro: Validate overlay viewport coordinates The overlay viewport end coordinates are computed from the viewport origin and dimensions using 32-bit unsigned arithmetic. Large input values can cause these calculations to wrap around before the resulting coordinates are passed to SetOverlayViewPort(). SetOverlayViewPort() packs the viewport coordinates into 16-bit register fields. The X coordinates are additionally adjusted by +2 and +1 before being written. Validate the coordinate calculations for 32-bit wraparound and ensure that the adjusted coordinates fit within their 16-bit register fields before calling SetOverlayViewPort(). Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

It is possible to read the advisory at git.kernel.org. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2026-90245 since 09/11/2026. The exploitation is known to be easy. Attacking locally is a requirement. Additional levels of successful authentication are required for exploitation. It demands that the victim is doing some kind of user interaction. Technical details of the vulnerability are known, but there is no available exploit. The pricing for an exploit might be around USD $0-$5k at the moment (estimation calculated on 09/17/2026).

Upgrading to version 5.10.270, 5.15.221, 6.1.188, 6.6.157, 6.12.110, 6.18.52, 7.2.6 or 7.3-rc1 eliminates this vulnerability. Applying the patch d8c1a9579cbd8f4ac5cbd5a10f1afb5ee64adf30/2ac6e30a552e6f9932c21c865a5c69f40c8aef64/413d763439ba68e5d547538e6b6c7de97d5818a5/e8d4e4cf388daeb49704f3de10b203034f28eb90/a6decd4e72fc5846d3b268bd085a2089213fd5ee/33e54e3e0b2ca959304e62c3d84f0ad49bbe1afe/7bf36dc23bcf3496dec274a46ae0aaff4961ea03/7b5c7bc55e13e7f5ac7b1eaf5c6d690389ea5ee3 is able to eliminate this problem. The best possible mitigation is suggested to be upgrading to the latest version.
