CWE ID 369
Summary
CVE-2024-50232 is a newly identified vulnerability affecting the Linux kernel. In the iio driver for the ad7124 ADC, the function ad7124_set_channel_odr() is susceptible to a division by zero. This issue arises when the parameter val passed to ad7124_write_raw() can be zero, leading to the division by zero occurring during the call to DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(). The vulnerability can be exploited through the sequence iio_write_channel_raw() -> iio_write_channel_attribute() -> iio_channel_write() without any checks to ensure val is non-zero.
