From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]>

Description
===========

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

drm/i915/vrr: require valid min/max vfreq for VRR

Ensure the EDID provided min/max vfreq are valid. Most scenarios are
already covered (by coincidence) through the checks in
intel_vrr_is_capable() and intel_vrr_is_in_range(), but be more explicit
about it. At worst, a zero min_vfreq could lead to a division by zero in
intel_vrr_compute_vmax().

Discovered using AI-assisted static analysis confirmed by Intel Product
Security.

(cherry picked from commit 1765cf59f517b02f3b0591fe5120930d08bddeb6)

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-68254 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
