CVE-2024-40916 (Low severity, published 2024-07-11)
CVSS score: 4.4 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CWE: CWE-617
Description: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/exynos: hdmi: report safe 640x480 mode as a fallback when no EDID found

When reading EDID fails and driver reports no modes available, the DRM
core adds an artificial 1024x786 mode to the connector. Unfortunately
some variants of the Exynos HDMI (like the one in Exynos4 SoCs) are not
able to drive such mode, so report a safe 640x480 mode instead of nothing
in case of the EDID reading failure.

This fixes the following issue observed on Trats2 board since commit
13d5b040363c ("drm/exynos: do not return negative values from .get_modes()"):
