Kernel service interruption via zero sampling frequency
Published Jul 19, 2026 · Updated Jul 19, 2026
Divide-by-zero in the Linux kernel ADIS16260 gyroscope driver allows local users to interrupt the system through a sysfs write. The driver's write_raw path uses the supplied sampling_frequency value as a divisor without first rejecting zero. Reachability requires an attached ADIS16260 sensor, its IIO driver, local access, and permission to write the device attribute.
