Technical description

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

ad7780: fix division by zero in ad7780_write_raw()

In the ad7780_write_raw() , val2 can be zero, which might lead to a

division by zero error in DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(). The ad7780_write_raw()

is based on iio_info's write_raw. While val is explicitly declared that

can be zero (in read mode), val2 is not specified to be non-zero.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. 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.
