[ Upstream commit 92e2a00f29 ]
variable var->pixclock can be set by user. In case it
equals to zero, divide by zero would occur in nvidiafb_set_par.
Similar crashes have happened in other fbdev drivers. There
is no check and modification on var->pixclock along the call
chain to nvidia_check_var and nvidiafb_set_par. We believe it
could also be triggered in driver nvidia 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.
