CVE-2026-31767
Published: May 1, 2026· Updated: May 1, 2026
Official Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/i915/dsi: Don't do DSC horizontal timing adjustments in command mode
Stop adjusting the horizontal timing values based on the
compression ratio in command mode. Bspec seems to be telling
us to do this only in video mode, and this is also how the
Windows driver does things.
This should also fix a div-by-zero on some machines because
the adjusted htotal ends up being so small that we end up with
line_time_us==0 when trying to determine the vtotal value in
command mode.
Note that this doesn't actually make the display on the
Huawei Matebook E work, but at least the kernel no longer
explodes when the driver loads.
