Summary

In the Linux kernel, the adt7470 hwmon driver has a divide-by-zero TOCTOU vulnerability in fan speed read. If fan data becomes zero between the validity check and conversion, a race with a concurrent update can cause a crash.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could trigger a race condition leading to a kernel panic, causing denial of service.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch that reads fan data once, eliminating the TOCTOU issue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: hwmon: (adt7470) Fix divide-by-zero TOCTOU crash in fan speed read If the fan data becomes 0 between the FAN_DATA_VALID() check and the FAN_PERIOD_TO_RPM() conversion, it will result in a divide-by-zero crash due to a race with a concurrent update of the cached fan value. Fix a TOCTOU issue by reading fan data once.
