Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
comedi: fix divide-by-zero in comedi_buf_munge()<br />
<br />
The comedi_buf_munge() function performs a modulo operation<br />
`async->munge_chan %= async->cmd.chanlist_len` without first<br />
checking if chanlist_len is zero. If a user program submits a command with<br />
chanlist_len set to zero, this causes a divide-by-zero error when the device<br />
processes data in the interrupt handler path.<br />
<br />
Add a check for zero chanlist_len at the beginning of the<br />
function, similar to the existing checks for !map and<br />
CMDF_RAWDATA flag. When chanlist_len is zero, update<br />
munge_count and return early, indicating the data was<br />
handled without munging.<br />
<br />
This prevents potential kernel panics from malformed user commands.
