Vulnerability Data
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: objtool, media: dib8000: Prevent divide-by-zero in dib8000_set_dds() If dib8000_set_dds()'s call to dib8000_read32() returns zero, the result is a divide-by-zero. Prevent that from happening. Fixes the following warning with an UBSAN…

Control response
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Directly requires validation of the value returned by dib8000_read32() before it is used as a divisor, eliminating the CWE-369 condition.
Requires explicit handling of error returns (zero) from dib8000_read32() so the subsequent division is never reached.
Ensures the driver fails in a known-safe state rather than allowing an unchecked zero divisor to trigger a kernel fault.

Security testing in development can detect divide-by-zero conditions before release.
Secure development lifecycle includes input validation and error-handling practices that can prevent divide-by-zero faults.
Application security requirements can mandate checks for zero denominators and safe arithmetic handling.
Secure architecture principles encourage defensive coding patterns that avoid arithmetic exceptions.
Secure coding standards directly require validation to prevent divide-by-zero and similar runtime faults.
