From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]>

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Input: elan_i2c - prevent division by zero and arithmetic underflow

The Elan I2C touchpad driver queries the device for its physical
dimensions and trace counts to calculate the device resolution and width.
However, if the device firmware or device tree provides invalid zero
values for x_traces or y_traces, it results in a fatal division-by-zero
exception leading to a kernel panic during device probe.

Add checks to ensure these parameters are non-zero before performing
the division. If invalid trace values are detected, fall back to a safe
default of 1.

Additionally, prevent an arithmetic underflow in the touch reporting
logic. Previously, if the calculated or fallback width was smaller than
ETP_FWIDTH_REDUCE (90), the subtraction would underflow, resulting in a
massive unsigned integer being reported to userspace. Clamp the adjusted
width to a minimum of 0 to safely handle small physical dimensions and
fallback scenarios.

Completing the probe with safe fallback values ensures the sysfs nodes
are created, keeping the firmware update path intact so a recovery
firmware can be flashed to the device.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-64275 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
