Description OSIDB Bzimport 2024-12-24 12:02:17 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

hwmon: (nct6775-core) Fix overflows seen when writing limit attributes

DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST() after kstrtoul() results in an overflow if a large
number such as 18446744073709551615 is provided by the user.
Fix it by reordering clamp_val() and DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST() operations.
