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

drm/amd/display: Fix division by zero in setup_dsc_config

When slice_height is 0, the division by slice_height in the calculation
of the number of slices will cause a division by zero driver crash. This
leaves the kernel in a state that requires a reboot. This patch adds a
check to avoid the division by zero.

The stack trace below is for the 6.8.4 Kernel. I reproduced the issue on
a Z16 Gen 2 Lenovo Thinkpad with a Apple Studio Display monitor
connected via Thunderbolt. The amdgpu driver crashed with this exception
when I rebooted the system with the monitor connected.

kernel: ? die (arch/x86/kernel/dumpstack.c:421 arch/x86/kernel/dumpstack.c:434 arch/x86/kernel/dumpstack.c:447)
kernel: ? do_trap (arch/x86/kernel/traps.c:113 arch/x86/kernel/traps.c:154)
kernel: ? setup_dsc_config (drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/…/display/dc/dsc/dc_dsc.c:1053) amdgpu
kernel: ? do_error_trap (./arch/x86/include/asm/traps.h:58 arch/x86/kernel/traps.c:175)
kernel: ? setup_dsc_config (drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/…/display/dc/dsc/dc_dsc.c:1053) amdgpu
kernel: ? exc_divide_error (arch/x86/kernel/traps.c:194 (discriminator 2))
kernel: ? setup_dsc_config (drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/…/display/dc/dsc/dc_dsc.c:1053) amdgpu
kernel: ? asm_exc_divide_error (./arch/x86/include/asm/idtentry.h:548)
kernel: ? setup_dsc_config (drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/…/display/dc/dsc/dc_dsc.c:1053) amdgpu
kernel: dc_dsc_compute_config (drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/…/display/dc/dsc/dc_dsc.c:1109) amdgpu

After applying this patch, the driver no longer crashes when the monitor
is connected and the system is rebooted. I believe this is the same
issue reported for 3113.
