[ Upstream commit f90bd245de82c095187d8c2cabb8b488a39eaecc ] fb_set_var would by called when user invokes ioctl with cmd FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO. User-provided data would finally reach tgafb_check_var. In case var->pixclock is assigned to zero, divide by zero would occur when checking whether reciprocal of var->pixclock is too high. Similar crashes have happened in other fbdev drivers. There is no check and modification on var->pixclock along the call chain to tgafb_check_var. We believe it could also be triggered in driver tgafb from user site.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
