Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2024-26945
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
A vulnerability has been resolved in the Linux kernel, specifically in the crypto: iaa component. The issue occurs when `nr cpus` is less than `nr iaa`, causing the calculated `cpus per iaa` to be 0, which leads to a divide-by-0 error in the `rebalance wq table()` function. To fix this, `cpus per iaa` is set to 1 in such cases, as well as when `nr iaa` equals 0, for added security.
**Recommendations**
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
