Severity CVSS v4.0:
Pending analysis
Type:
CWE-369
Divide By Zero

Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
pwm: mediatek: Prevent divide-by-zero in pwm_mediatek_config()<br />
<br />
With CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST && !CONFIG_HAVE_CLK, pwm_mediatek_config() has a<br />
divide-by-zero in the following line:<br />
<br />
do_div(resolution, clk_get_rate(pc->clk_pwms[pwm->hwpwm]));<br />
<br />
due to the fact that the !CONFIG_HAVE_CLK version of clk_get_rate()<br />
returns zero.<br />
<br />
This is presumably just a theoretical problem: COMPILE_TEST overrides<br />
the dependency on RALINK which would select COMMON_CLK. Regardless it&#39;s<br />
a good idea to check for the error explicitly to avoid divide-by-zero.<br />
<br />
Fixes the following warning:<br />
<br />
drivers/pwm/pwm-mediatek.o: warning: objtool: .text: unexpected end of section<br />
<br />
[ukleinek: s/CONFIG_CLK/CONFIG_HAVE_CLK/]
