Summary

The IIO driver for the AD4030 ADC in the Linux kernel computes a logarithm of the oversampling ratio in ad4030_set_avg_frame_len() before validating the input, so zero or negative values make ilog2() return an undefined result. The fix checks that the value is strictly positive before the logarithm is taken. Linux kernel from 6.15 is affected. Red Hat rates it Moderate, and CISA has not added it to KEV.

Description from the CNA

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iio: adc: ad4030: fix invalid oversampling_ratio validation In ad4030_set_avg_frame_len(), the logarithm is calculated before input validation. Passing zero or negative values leads to an undefined result from ilog2(). Validate that the input is strictly positive prior to computing its logarithm.
