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.
