Linux Kernel Buffer Overflow Vulnerability in OMAPFB Component

A buffer overflow vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's OMAPFB component, specifically within the 'dispc_ovl_setup' function. This vulnerability arises because the function is not designed to handle the 'OMAP_DSS_WB' value of the 'plane' parameter, which could potentially lead to a buffer overflow. The issue was discovered by the Linux Verification Center using the SVACE static analysis tool.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to a buffer overflow, which may be exploited to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial-of-service condition.
