Kernel crash via zero ATA geometry
Published May 1, 2024 · Updated May 12, 2026
Divide-by-zero in the Linux kernel USB isd200 storage driver allows local users to crash the system with a subversive emulated device. isd200_ata_command divides and takes a modulus by ATA ID HEADS and SECTORS values without first rejecting zero values. Exploitation requires presenting crafted ATA identity data while the driver binds the emulated storage device; the resulting impact is a kernel crash.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
