From 7f8581c70a3bd50a932d3d2d253e99c5ec3eda74 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nikita Zhandarovich Date: Fri, 29 May 2026 17:18:36 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] hwmon: (it87) Clamp negative values to zero in set_fan() set_fan() parses user input with kstrtol() and passes the resulting value to FAN16_TO_REG() on chips with 16-bit fan support. Negative fan speeds are not meaningful and should be rejected before conversion. Worst scenario, one may be able to abuse undefined behaviour of signed overflow to possibly induce rpm * 2 == 0 in FAN16_TO_REG(), thus causing a division by zero. Instead, clamp val < 0 to zero and keep the conversion in its valid input domain, avoiding unsafe arithmetic in the register conversion path.
