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

drm/amd/display: Fix divide-by-zero in calculate_mcache_setting on zero viewport

If a plane reaches calculate_mcache_setting with a zero-area viewport,
calculate_mcache_setting exits early with num_mcaches == 0 and
mvmpg_width/height == 0. This will cause a divide-by-zero panic and can
also cause an underflow on num_mcaches.

Fix this by changing calculate_mcache_setting to bool and adding guards
after each calculate_mcache_row_bytes call. If num_mcaches or
mvmpg_width/height is zero, return a false. Callers will propagate the
failure as a rejected mode, which prevents the panic.

(cherry picked from commit 29c0f7c655f47bcbd575ff75e58480df6ec3c9da)
