Patch iio: chemical: scd30: fix division by zero in write_raw
Event History
Frequently Asked Questions
What access is required to trigger the issue?
An attacker or local user must be able to write to the scd30 sampling_frequency sysfs attribute. The triggering input is a sampling-frequency value with a zero fractional part.
Which systems are exposed?
The affected Ubuntu kernel packages listed are linux, linux-realtime, linux-azure, linux-gcp, linux-azure-fde, linux-gke, linux-riscv, and linux-gkeop. Exposure also depends on the scd30 IIO driver and its sampling_frequency sysfs attribute being available for writing.
What can be done before an updated kernel is deployed?
Do not write a sampling-frequency value whose fractional component is zero to the scd30 sampling_frequency sysfs attribute. Restrict write access to that sysfs attribute to trusted administrators or processes.
