Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iio: adc: nxp-sar-adc: fix division by zero in write_raw Add a validation check for the sampling frequency value before using it as a divisor. A user writing zero or a negative value to the sampling_frequency sysfs attribute triggers a division by zero in the kernel. Also prevent unsigned integer underflow when the computed cycle count is smaller than NXP_SAR_ADC_CONV_TIME, which would wrap the u32 inpsamp to a huge value.

Affected products

Linux kernel: from 7.0 before 7.0.12; 7.1-rc1, 7.1-rc2, 7.1-rc3, 7.1-rc4, 7.1-rc5 — fixed in 7.0.12
Linux kernel: 7.0 — fixed in 7.1

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: Linux kernel 7.0.12; Linux kernel 7.1. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
