Summary

In the Linux kernel, the SCD30 driver for IIO chemical sensors has a division by zero vulnerability. A user can trigger a kernel crash by writing a zero fractional part to the sampling_frequency sysfs attribute.

Risk Assessment

An attacker with local access can cause a system crash (kernel panic) by writing a crafted value to sysfs, leading to a denial of service (DoS).

Recommendation

Immediately update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix (commit adding a zero check for val2). If updating is not possible, restrict sysfs access to unprivileged users.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iio: chemical: scd30: fix division by zero in write_raw Add a zero check for val2 before using it as a divisor when setting the sampling frequency. A user writing a zero fractional part to the sampling_frequency sysfs attribute triggers a division by zero in the kernel.
