medium Nessus Plugin ID 267170
Synopsis
The Unity Linux host is missing one or more security updates.Description
The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2025-411457 advisory.In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: iio: frequency: ad9834: Validate frequency parameter value
In ad9834_write_frequency() clk_get_rate() can return 0. In such case ad9834_calc_freqreg() call will lead to division by zero. Checking 'if (fout > (clk_freq / 2))' doesn't protect in case of 'fout' is 0.
ad9834_write_frequency() is called from ad9834_write(), where fout is taken from text buffer, which can contain any value.
Modify parameters checking.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
