Overview

CVE-2024-50232 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on November 9, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5 (MEDIUM).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5, rated MEDIUM. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

iio: adc: ad7124: fix division by zero in ad7124_set_channel_odr()

In the ad7124_write_raw() function, parameter val can potentially

be zero. This may lead to a division by zero when DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST()

is called within ad7124_set_channel_odr(). The ad7124_write_raw()

function is invoked through the sequence: iio_write_channel_raw() ->

iio_write_channel_attribute() -> iio_channel_write(), with no checks

in place to ensure val is non-zero.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from linux. Update linux_kernel to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
